power steering leak and which hose

[irondiezl3]

so there is two option on autozones website. with my luck its the more expensive one i need. im leaking at part where metal meets rubber on the hose that connects to the power steering resivour. i see online theres a return hose, and a pressure line hose. the return is 3 times the price is that the one that connects to the power steering res?

Yeah, that's a pita, just did one last month. It has a hose clamp at the pump, iirc.

It was expensive, and not as good as OEM, with crimped-on hose-to-tube interconnects (from Checker/O'Reilly).

Yeah, that's what I replaced, mine cost me about 30 dollars more.

If it is constructed like the OEM, yes, worth the extra money
