Powering steering hose.

[Bernie Benz]

Pete,
The hose to which you refer is one of the two high pressure Power Brake
hoses, and has nothing to do with the PS system. These hoses ³weep³ when
they get old and are flexed. There is a noise suppressing damper system
built into both the PB and PS high pressure hoses from the pump.
