dash panel. It must also be routed under the wiring
harness and below the drip tube. This will prevent

must be located in its correct position by clipping it
to the stud in the strut tower (Fig. 32).

steering fluid reservoir fitting (Fig. 31). Install the
hose clamp on the fluid supply hose at the fluid res-
ervoir. Be sure hose clamp in installed past bead
on fluid reservoir fitting.

cation and Maintenance section of this service man-
ual, for the required lifting procedure to be used for
this vehicle.

power steering pump. Install the hose clamp on the
fluid supply hose at the power steering pump. Be
