DESCRIPTION
The power steering fluid hoses connect the components of the power steering system.
The power steering fluid supply hose 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 that are pressure crimped to the flexible hose. A standard 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 to the fluid reservoir. It has a special metal tubing
section that acts as cooler running in front of the radiator module. 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 reservoir using a standard adjustable clamp.
OPERATION
The power steering fluid hoses transfer fluid from one power steering system component to the next.
