Unless you swap to a manual rack the power(less) steering rack needs fluid or you'll ruin the bearings. If you just loop the hoses it'll eventually run dry and emit a high pitched squeaking noise. So it needs a small reservoir where you can add PS fluid to keep the rack happy.

Just some info I gleaned.
