Re: [FWDLK] Power Steering Hose

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

The 7-1108 is at least 3" too long when measured against the DPCD original and looks awkward. Hoping someone has a correct NAPA number for me...

I know a lot of discussion has been going on relative to this subject but the comment about the 90 degree bend compels me to respond.  You don't want it too long so pick the hose by the length and then straighten the fittings.   I just insert a mandrill or other piece of rod into the end and straighten it out and they work just great... You can't get it back to 180 degrees but you can get very close.    Marv
