I am not trying to get rid of power steering I just noticed that the hard line to my powersteering goes from the driver side all the way to the passenger side and then loops back around to the drivers side before it goes into the rack and pinion.

that tube is there to help cool the power steering fluid i believe. I'd leave it be.

yeah they're for cooling the fluid. they're really not in the way of anything so i would leave it alone, unless you were completely getting rid of p/s all together.

-yes, also it's meant to be a sort of pressure dampner. keeps **** from blowing out.

yeah "sort of". most the pressure is dampened in the high side line by the restricter.

Yeah, I also was just told that they are for the pressure, My boy said it like this "Its Nissan ingenuity so I would leave it alone".
