It is the power steering cooler. If you look closely enough it runs from the passanger side of the car, infront of the rad. and back. The RS ones are different than the V6 ones, so make sure you get the right one. I would suggest getting a used one from someone parting a MX on here. They are not tipically a wear item. As long as there is no rust, which there shouldn't be it is an aluminum pipe, no kinks, breaks or bent spots then you are ok.

If you drive spiritedly I would say yes. If you turn the wheels alot while driving hard the fluid will heat up from the pressure. Heat causes wear, which will prematurely damage parts like the rack, pump and seals.

i'm parting out a mx3
and yeah, precidia is the only car that i've heard of have a power steering cooler, my theorys are that it's was a powerful motor in a little car so the power steering needed to be more powerful then in the other cars so they had to put the cooler in ti so it dont ruin the parts^^^
