Hopefully a easy question. Is there a difference in the power steering return hose and other types such as transmission cooling line hose? I would think the PS return line would have to be more flexable and made to withstand the constant flexing.

Thanks,

Not really sure, but I did have to replace the pressure lines on my '70 a couple years ago for the second time when they started leaking. I looked at the existing ones (which I had purchased from a well-known vendor 12 years ago) and they had "Goodyear" markings all over the rubber hose. Apparently these items are somewhat life-limited no matter who makes the hose...

As for the return line, no real pressure there so I doubt they'd cause that kind of trouble.
