Power Steering Line/Hose: Service and Repair

When a hose is reinstalled or replaced, the following points are essential:
- Route hoses in the same position they were in before removal.
- Route hoses smoothly; avoid sharp bends and kinking
- After hoses are installed, check for leaks while the system is being bled. Refer to Bleeding.
- Tighten the hose connections to 28 Nm (20 ft. lbs.).

CAUTION: Do not start the engine with any power steering hose disconnected, or damage to the components could occur.
