has anyone sucessfully replaced their p/s pressure hose by utilizing the
existing fittings and crimping new hose to them:

Brand new hose...$10 more.... http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...OSE&PageSync=5

Don't pay the stealership prices.

 

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.

 

Beck/arnley hose $39.79 at rockauto.com.
Edelmann hose 34.79.

 

I bought my Gates for $40 w/lifetime warranty

 

oh yeah, I gotta redo those prices

 

completed the repair Sunday - the hose as supplied by AutoZone does NOT
fit. ain't close - one end as supplied by them had a 90 degree bend about
7-8" long.

replacing the hose from the pump to the block fitting behind the strut
tower that has an electrical pressure switch.

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.

I bet they gave you the one for the gxe model.

 

The autozone gxe part # is 71445........se part #80100....Also the se model hose is special order only.

 

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.

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......

 

I think its called "variable power steering"

 

the exact same thing happed to me.. im using an SE hose right now

 

it is speed sensitive power steering
