The Metal Fitting On The End Of The Hose Where It Screws Into The Pump Leaks (More Like Sprays) Out From Between The Two Fittings.

Is The Fitting Supposed To Be Able To Move From Side To Side And Rotate Slightly?

What All Do I Need To Replace? Is There An O Ring, Or Is It A Bad Fitting?

I had the same issue, replace the hose, the internal o ring is not fixable.


Word of advice, the new hose come bone dry, to prevent ruining the new hose, soak some oil on both ends and turn the fittings by hand.

The new hose will appear not to fit, or not the right one, it will fit, it is the right one, have patience, you will also notice, the threads in the adapter on the pump are fine threaded, do not use any teflon or you will easily strip it out.


If its stripped, it will have to be dyed at the dealership by a Master Mechanic$0

the line is your power steering hose of high pressure, use power steering fluid only, watch your knuckles, this job is kinda easy, but may require you to loosen up or remove a few things, nothing major at all.


This is a good time to replace those worn rack bushings with solid ones if you want.I would do offset if you plan to lower the car.
