Topic: Which Shortie PS Hose Goes Where?

[Mike_B_SVT]

Hey Fellas, I've searched all over the place and can't find anything that clearly shows which of the "shortie" PS hoses goes where.

ALSO, is there a correct way to "clock" the hoses for best / correct position?  They have stripes on them, so I figure they should align a certain way...


This is a pic of what I had:  3A717 was the "uppermost" of the two and 3A714 was the lower, but that doesn't mean they were put on correctly God knows how long ago >.<

Typically the stripes go on the bottom. If you but them on wrong when you start the car the steering wheel will rotate from one side to the other on its own. You do not want to get in its way if it does that because it can do it violently. You will know immediately because the steering wheel will start to move . Step one start the car and if the steering wheel moves turn it off the second it starts to do that . Now switch the hoses. Once the hoses are corrected rotate the steering wheel on your own back one way complete and then the other way complete so as to work air bubbles out of the system.

Thanks Bob, but I'm not worried about getting them crossed up.  I'm trying to figure out which hose goes in which spot ~ send vs return.  I know the hoses are similar, but they are not identical (one seems to be a bit longer than the other).  So they should each go in a particular spot... but I can't find anything that tells me which one goes where.

So the stripes should  face down, toward the ground?

Thanks!  Someone hooked me up with the diagram.

For anyone else who comes along later that doesn't happen to have the assembly manual, here is the diagram;
