Is this the power steering return line?
« on: September 12, 2020, 22:33:22 »
Hi guys!

Quick question: is the line I have highlighted in the attached picture the power steering return line?

I’m trying to flush my p/s system...

Thx,

Seb

Save the clamps.  They are hard to find.

Yes, save the clamps, but the one that is shown in the photo you posted is not correct for the power steering hose. The proper ones are a worm gear style (but NOT cheese slicer type).

Here is a link with a good photo of the clamp right at the top
