HOSES
DESCRIPTION
The power steering fluid hoses connect the compo-
nents of the power steering system.
The power steering fluid supply hose (3.5L engine
only) is a special rubber hose that connects the power
steering fluid reservoir to the power steering pump.
The hose is secured at each end using a standard
adjustable clamp.
The power steering fluid pressure hose is a high
pressure hose that connects the power steering pump
to the gear. At both ends of the flexible hose portion
are steel fittings. A tube nut fitting with an O-ring is
used at each end to connect it to either the power
steering pump or the gear.
The power steering fluid return hose is a special
rubber hose that connects the power steering gear
and the power steering fluid cooler, back to the fluid
reservoir. A standard tube nut fitting with an O-ring
is used to connect it to the power steering gear. The
hose is secured to the cooler and reservoir using
standard adjustable clamps.
OPERATION
The power steering fluid hoses transfer fluid from
one power steering system component to the next.
