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
both ends to connect the components. The power steering fluid return hose is a formed metal and rubber hose that connects the gear back to the power
steering pump. A standard tube nut fitting with an O-ring is used to connect it to the gear. It is secured to the power steering pump using a standard
