power steering pump fitting and steering gear port.
(3) Install new O-ring on power steering gear end
of return hose. Lubricate O-ring using clean power
steering fluid.
CAUTION: Use care not to bend tube ends of the
power steering hoses when installing. Leaks and
restrictions may occur.
CAUTION: If a new return hose is being installed
and it does not have an insulating heat sleeve
installed, the heat shield from the original hose
must be transferred before hose installation.
(4) Route hose along rear of cradle crossmember
and start gear end of hose into gear port. Do not
tighten hose tube nut at this time.
(5) Attach hose to suspension cradle crossmember
using two routing clamps and bolts (Fig. 19). Tighten
clamp bolts to 23 N´m (200 in. lbs.) torque.
(6) Tighten return hose tube nut at power steering
gear port to 31 N´m (275 in. lbs.) torque.(7) Install the power steering fluid cooler on the
cradle crossmember reinforcement (Fig. 23). Install
the mounting bolts and tighten to 11 N´m (100 in.
lbs.).
CAUTION: Power steering fluid hoses must remain
away from the exhaust system and must not come
in contact with any unfriendly surfaces on the vehi-
cle.
(8) Route pump end of hose over cradle crossmem-
ber toward pump avoiding tight bends or kinking.
(9) Install return hose onto power steering pump
return fitting and secure with hose clamp (Fig. 19).
Tighten the screw-type clamp to a torque of 2 N´m
(18 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: To prevent overheating of power steering
fluid return hose, protective heat shield sleeve must
cover entire rubber hose.
(10) Slide insulating heat shield up over the clamp
on the return hose and tie-strap it in place.
(11) Install front emissions vapor canister. (Refer
to 25 - EMISSIONS CONTROL/EVAPORATIVE
EMISSIONS/VAPOR CANISTER - INSTALLATION)
(12) Lower vehicle.
(13) Fill and bleed the power steering system
using the Power Steering Pump Initial Operation
Procedure. (Refer to 19 - STEERING/PUMP - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE)
(14) Inspect system for leaks.
INSTALLATION - 3.3L/3.8L ENGINE
(1) Remove any used O-rings from ends of power
steering hose.
(2) Using a lint free towel, wipe clean hose ends
and power steering gear hose port.
(3) Install a new O-ring on gear port end of power
steering fluid hose. Lubricate O-ring using clean
power steering fluid.
CAUTION: Use care not to bend tube ends of the
power steering hoses when installing. Leaks and
restrictions may occur.
CAUTION: Power steering fluid hoses must remain
away from the exhaust system and must not come
in contact with any unfriendly surfaces on the vehi-
cle.
(4) Route hose (with cooler attached) up toward
reservoir avoiding tight bends or kinking.
(5) Start steering gear end of hose into gear port.
Do not tighten hose tube nut at this time.

crossmember using routing clamp and bolt (Fig. 20).
Tighten clamp bolt to 23 N´m (200 in. lbs.) torque.
(7) Install the power steering fluid cooler on the
cradle crossmember reinforcement (Fig. 23). Install
the mounting bolts and tighten to 11 N´m (100 in.
lbs.). When installing mounting bolts, include pres-
sure hose routing clamp.
(8) Tighten hose tube nut at power steering gear
port to 31 N´m (275 in. lbs.) torque.
(9) Install front emissions vapor canister. (Refer to
25 - EMISSIONS CONTROL/EVAPORATIVE EMIS-
SIONS/VAPOR CANISTER - INSTALLATION)
(10) Lower vehicle.
(11) Install return hose tube into retainer on ABS
bracket (Fig. 20). Close the bracket.
(12) Install return hose onto reservoir (Fig. 21).
Slide the hose clamp into position on fluid reservoir
and attach it.Be sure hose clamp in installed
past bead on fluid reservoir fitting.
(13) Fill and bleed power steering system using
the Power Steering Pump Initial Operation Proce-
dure. (Refer to 19 - STEERING/PUMP - STANDARD
PROCEDURE)
(14) Inspect system for leaks.
