Checking For Power Steering Hoses Touching Body Or Frame Of Vehicle

Check hoses and hose tubes as following:

  1. Inspect hoses and hose tubes for witness marks. If witness marks are present, adjust hose(s) to the proper position by loosening, repositioning and tightening attachments to the specified torque. See SPECIFICATIONS . Do not bend tubing to adjust.  Replace the hose assembly if damaged.
  2. Check fastener torque of hose mounting brackets and tube nuts. See SPECIFICATIONS .
  3. Have a helper bump the steering gear off of the stops to induce pressure fluctuations which may move the hose. If hose contact is made, adjust hose(s) to the proper position by loosening, repositioning and tightening attachments to the specified torque. See SPECIFICATIONS . Do not bend tubing to adjust.  Replace the hose assembly if damaged.
