    Default should these PS lines wiggle

    I was under the capri the other day doing a quick oil change and noticed I could wiggle the lines going to the rack, do they have some funky fitting that allows movement or are they just really loose?
    I don't have to add power steering fluid often, maybe once since I got the car, so it doesn't seem to leak.

    thanks

    no one has installed the lines on their rack and can comment?
    maybe i did a poor description. the metal part of the lines that screw into the rack, move around quite a bit right where they seem to go into the rack. I was under the impression these were regular flared lines that should not move when tightened down, am i correct or are these fittings different?

    Yes they do move there is a "funky" fitting on them it is actually quite nice.
    It allows the line to move with engine and body movement and not relying on the ruber hose to flex and eventually leak like GM.

    You are fine don't worry .... now if you were losing fluid I would worry
