Default power steering hoses

Just finished power steering cyl. and valve rebuild. Also ordered a new set of hoses. the hoses I hoses recived from ZIP are different, in the respect of the diameter of the raduis of the curve retract and extend hose. So different (1/2 ") in fact I had ZIP on the phone last night to pull other unit off the self to check. I`am going to try the install tonight, after work. Has anybody noticed this diffence from factory original and replacement. It`s not like these can be rebent that easy. Or can they? Thanks again, this place is great! :chevy

Default Re: power steering hoses (71stockray)

I just redid my PS and also noticed the new extend & retract hoses (from Zip) do not exactly match up to the originals...but they do seem to fit well.
