Default power steering filter???

anyone know where i can get a power steering filter (add on) for a 2002 dodge 1500 4.7?? i can find some that you put in the return line, but none are large enough for the hose (5/8" i think. . .)

thanks,
Brian

Go ask a hydraulic shop. They should be able to hook it you up.

Curious on why you want a filter on the PS pump and fluid? Are you suspecting contamination or metal shavings?

i am hoping to extend the life of the pump/rack

i just replaced the pump, but the one i took off was rebuilt in 2008

just whatever metal shavings that i cant get rid of by flushing i am hoping to filter out, unless if you have a reason not to, or a better idea.
