While under the car replacing the inner and outer tie rods (88 244, ZF rack) I've noticed that a line on my ZF rack has come loose.

The line does not match the lines of that on my 88 245, which I've replaced and are metal.

These lines seem to be made of some sort of rubber or plastic, and the fittings can be pressed in with channel locks and some pressure.

The fitting is located, lying under the passenger side, on the back of the rack. The line goes up and across to the other side of the rack, where it enters into the back of the rack. In this area the fitting is so close to a peice of the frame (or something) that you can't get pliers into the space.

Silly thing is that when the fitting was out I pulled the car into the garage and haven't noticed any steering fluid...what is up with this? Power Steering fliud is full, no leaks.

Seems crazy I know, but is this line some sort of venting, or what?

Thanks.
