Beck/Arnley sells a hose... just start calling up parts stores. MUCH cheaper than a dealership part and you don't want to use a junkyard piece because you might have to go through this mess again at any time.

there are 2 options, and you can't tell which one you have until you've gotten a good look at the hose.

Hi, I have replaced the hose yesterday. I got it from NAPA auto parts for about 50 dollars. The hose with the 90 degree bent is for models with electronic control solenoid on the pump body, which is not my case. The hose fits perfectly and it looks good quality, furthermore it has an aluminum protector to keep it safe from the engine’s heat.

Same thing happend to me when I replaced my pressure hose. I have a GXE, and the GXE hose did not fit, I took my old hose back to the parts store (not autozone), and they said that I had an SE hose.

Is there a difference in power steering pumps in VG engines??? whats this electronic control stuff???

The "electronic control stuff " is a device that raises or lowers the amount of power steering needed according to your speed. In other words if you are going thru the store parking lot at 5mph it gives you full power steering. But on the highway at 60mph you do not need as much. It gives you a much better feel of the road......
