The pressure hose carries high pressure fluid from the pump to the steering gear or rack. The return hose sends low pressure fluid back to the reservoir. Pressure hoses use crimped metal fittings and are built to hold far more pressure than return hoses.
On trucks with hydroboost brakes, fluid also runs through the brake booster. Positions here include pump to gear, hydroboost to gear, hydroboost to pump and gear to reservoir.
Look for wet, oily hoses or drips under the front of the vehicle, a falling fluid level and a whining pump caused by low fluid. Steering may feel heavy, especially at low speed. Cracked rubber, swollen sections and seeping crimps are signs a hose is near the end.
On hydroboost systems, a leak can also affect brake assist, so repair it promptly.
Match the position and the hose length. Lengths in this group range from 36 in to 58.5 in. Compare the fittings on your old hose with the listing photos.
Use the fluid type your vehicle requires. After installation, fill the reservoir and bleed air by turning the wheels lock to lock, following the procedure for your vehicle. Keep the reservoir topped up while bleeding, then check all fittings for leaks.
Pressure lines need the correct fittings and a hose rated for high pressure, so a vehicle-specific crimped hose is the safe choice. Low pressure return lines are sometimes replaced with bulk hose and clamps.
Fill the reservoir, then turn the steering lock to lock several times, with the engine off or running depending on your vehicle's procedure. Keep the fluid topped up until bubbles stop and the steering feels smooth.
Some trucks use power steering fluid to power the brake booster instead of engine vacuum. The hoses that run to and from that booster are hydroboost hoses. They carry high pressure and need the correct replacement.
