Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Power steering fluid leakage from a worn or damaged pressure hose
• Steering noise caused by restricted or deteriorated hose flow
• Loss of steering assist from pressure-line failure
• Corrosion or fatigue at the hose-to-tube assembly
• Fitment issues when replacing an original pump-to-rack pressure line

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the vehicle uses the listed pump-to-rack/gear box pressure line routing before installation.
• Inspect mating flare seats and sealing surfaces for wear or contamination before connecting the hose.
• Transfer or replace any vehicle-specific mounting components only if required by the application; mounting brackets, bushings, copper washers, and rubber mounts are not included.
• Confirm clearance around heat sources and use the included heat sleeve where routing passes near exhaust or other hot components.
• After installation, refill the system with the correct power steering fluid and bleed air from the steering circuit.
