I installed a stacked plate power steering cooler and dont like the angle of the PS hoses when connected. I found these push on hose fittings. I like the idea that they are clean looking, simple, and rated at 250psi. Any one use some thing like this?

I think there is special hose made for those style fittings.  I don't think you can use regular hose.  They make a special lube in order to get the hose installed.  If you don't use that lube, it SUCKS!!! trying to install the hose.

This is on the low pressure side of the pump. 2000psi may be overkill. There is also a crimp on sleeve you can use or just a hose clamp.

Ah, ok ya then the ones you linked will work.( be sure to use hose rated for power steering fluid, NOT fuel line) But then so will a hose and hose clamp....

I was thinking about using the Teflon lined hose.

As mentioned, do not use regular AN rubber hose for the -high pressure- side of the power steering system.


That being said, you mentioned using a cooler. That cooler should be installed on the -low pressure- side. For this instance, the rubber AN hose IS sufficient.


I used teflon braided hose on the high pressure side and pushloc rubber hose on the low side.
