Important: Note the position of all the tie-wraps and the hose insulators for proper re-installation.
Notice: Do not start the engine with any power steering hose disconnected, or damage to the components could occur.
Important: Observe the following when reinstalling or replacing a hose:
• Route the hoses in the proper position. • Route the hoses smoothly. Avoid sharp bends and kinking. • Install all tie wraps and hose insulators in their original positions.
Failure to do so may cause unwanted noise, vibration, or harshness in the
passenger compartment.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the hose fittings to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).
