Hi All,
My power steering pump failed. So I went down to the local u-Pick junk yard and managed to find what looks to be a serviceable replacement ...
I took the old one off, pulled the resevoir off, put it on the new one, bolted up, but when I went to put the high pressure hose on - well the fitting on the existing hose isn't the same as the port on the pump!
I believe the new pump came off a 96, and it is identical in every way except the high pressure hose connection. So my question is - do I go back and get the hose that matches the new pump? Will the steering gear connector match? If it doesn't can i splice the hose the somehow to use the two fittings I need?
Thanks
