Don't recognize this power steer filter set up.
Hey everyone, I took the PS pump apart to drain it as part of removing the engine and found this old ball filter arrangement inside rather than the cartridge I'm familiar with. Can I just use the cartridge filter and replace the ring, and ring holder and disc with the holes on top?

I had the same setup on my euro, I ordered the cartridge filter instead of the the one pictured....I put the cartridge one in and never had a problem....

This is from cars older than the W123, mostly in taxi livery too.

looks like the filters on the end of oil furnace nozzles. likely superior to the paper filter... I'd just rinse it backwards with some wd-40 and or diesel, and re use it.

That's what mine had. I just replaced it with the cartridge filter. Fits perfectly like it was designed to go in the same place (oh yeah, it was).
I suspect the porous ring was probably original from the factory. Mine felt like wood to me, but I didn't really look too closely at the oily thing.

My '83 SD had the exact same type of filter. I serviced the PS and went with the cartridge paper filter. Thankfully I didn't throw the old filter away.
EDIT: Now that's 3 '83s that had this type of PS filter. I wonder if that's a changeover or a one year use.
