Routing Pwer Steering lines to Radiator

OK I just put a new radiator in from radiator.com It is a universal so it will work for a standard or automatic MX-3. The power steering cooling line that runs in front of the rad always rusts and leaks so I thought I would route the power steering lines into my radiator transmission cooling hookup. Anyone know any reason why this wouldn't work? I think the pressures are not an issue as the coolant is on the return not pressure side of the system.

This isn't really relevant, but I recently relocated my ps 'cooler'... I just unbolted it and bolted it higher up, on the hood release... its kinda redneck, and I had to shave my bumper, but its hidden from any decent angle... I must say it looks waaay better without that stupid loop in the way.
Sounds to me like your idea would work... I considered just deleting it, how hot can PS really get? I drive straight, all the time. Southeastern manitoba.... straight and flat is all we have.

Replacing the cooling line can cost. If you already replaced the rad connecteing it to cool you rPS is a good option. I fabricated a new PS cooling line and I spent like 2 and a half hours because of all the bends. I'll continue and see if connecting to my rad is any easier.
