The power steering fluid hoses connect the components of the power steering system.
The power steering fluid supply hose (3.5L engine only) 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. A 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 and the power steering fluid cooler, back to the
fluid reservoir. 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 cooler and
reservoir using standard adjustable clamps.
