Steering Gear Outlet Hose
When a hose is either reinstalled or replaced, the following points are essential:
-
Route the hoses in the same position as they were in before removal.
-
Route the hoses smoothly and avoid sharp bends and kinking.
-
Tighten the pump end hose fitting, gear line fitting, and booster line fitting to specifications. Refer to "Fastener Tightening Specifications."
-
After hoses are installed, check for leaks while the system is being bled. Refer to "Bleeding the Power Steering System."
NOTICE: Do not start the engine with any power steering hoses disconnected, or damage to the components could occur.
