Power Steering Line/Hose: Service and Repair
When a hose is reinstalled or replaced, the following points are essential:
-
Route hoses in the same position they were in before removal.
-
Route hoses smoothly; avoid sharp bends and kinking
-
After hoses are installed, check for leaks while the system is being bled. Refer to Bleeding.
-
Tighten the hose connections to 28 Nm (20 ft. lbs.).
CAUTION: Do not start the engine with any power steering hose disconnected, or damage to the components could occur.
