🔎 Enhanced Edelmann 70700 Power Steering System Filter Review

A bit large for where I wanted to place it, there are cheaper smaller options. But it seems to work fine once I find a place to install it.

Bought over 6 months ago, installed maybe 3 months ago when replacing PS lines. The truck caught fire while exiting a drive and heard splashing noises. He opened the hood, broke open the filter cover and spilled PS liquid everywhere. Don't buy this.

Attention! A few days after installation, the filter housing failed catastrophically. I was stranded at 10am on Saturday. Night with Frost (-4). I don't know if the temperature was the cause or not, but it still shouldn't have happened. The housing/filter housing cracked almost the entire diameter of the "cap" on the inlet side and all my new synthetic fluid came out. On my diesel truck this meant no power steering or power brakes and a 'dry' pump so the truck definitely didn't work!

If I could give this a 0 star rating I would. It split in half at the seam like other owners. In my case, I started the car in the driveway and heard a very unusual noise. I turned it off after a second or two and looked under the hood. The filter was cracked and power steering fluid was splattered everywhere. It was a real nightmare. Thank god I was lucky that this happened on my porch. I removed the filter with a spare piece of power steering hose I had on hand and added fluid. I found my…

Less than a few hundred miles later I noticed an oil leak and found that the power steering filter had loosened slightly. I tightened the housing and reinstalled the filter. Same problem, the filter has a small leak at the junction. I tried several times to

If you want to ruin your new or original power steering pump, DO NOT buy this item! I bought two of these for my two Taurus vehicles. I just replaced a HP pump on a machine and "cardone" said they don't guarantee the new pump unless you put a filter in the low pressure line. I installed a filter and primed the system, removing all the old oil and air in the system. The car ran like new that night. The next morning I started the car and drove 1/4 mile when the PS completely stopped working. He…

If you've read this review before, we have an update. This filter might be fine. I can't see it clearly. It turns out I have a problem with the return side of my pump causing it to over pressurize the system causing the filter to fail. Initial review is inaccurate: I purchased 2 of these filters as part of a repair/replacement on my power steering pump. obtained from a landfill. I spent a lot of time cleaning used parts but wanted to install an in-line filter to ensure all contaminants were…
