Power steering hose

Post by Frederich »

Wondering if I can replace low pressure hose to pump that is 16/22 with 5/8 as locally can’t get former. Just connected both ends w/ hose clamps.
Thanks. 16/22 can get on line but way more $$$ than 5/8 locally.

Yeah, low pressure is just an oil hose, nothing special about it. Unless you're trying to keep the original look, a plain one will do just fine.
