NOTE:
To service the power steering pressure
hose on this vehicle, the front suspension cross-
member and steering gear will need to be lowered
away from the body of the vehicle. This is required
for access to the power steering hose connections
on the side of the steering gear. Refer to the steer-
ing gear service procedure in this group of the ser-
vice manual for the required procedure for removal
of the front suspension crossmember.
(1) Raise vehicle on jack stands or centered on a
frame contact type hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubri-
cation And Maintenance section in this manual, for
the required lifting procedure to be used for this
vehicle.
CAUTION:
When lowering the front suspension
crossmember, its installed position on the vehicle’s
body must be marked on the crossmember before it
is lowered. Use the procedure for the removal and
replacement of the steering gear that is in this
group of the service manual for the required proce-
dure to locate and lower the crossmember.
(2) Lower the front suspension crossmember far
enough to gain access to the high and low pressure
ports on the steering gear.
(3) Disconnect the power steering pressure hose
(Fig. 9) at the power steering gear. Drain power
steering fluid from power steering pump and hose
through open end of hose.
(4)
If the vehicle is equipped with a 2.4 liter
engine, remove the power steering pressure hose
routing bracket from the power steering return hose
bracket on rear of engine (Fig. 10). Then remove the
nut attaching the power steering pressure hose rout-
ing bracket to the stud on the side of cylinder head
(Fig. 11).
(5)
If vehicle is equipped with a 2.5 liter
engine, remove the 2 routing brackets (Fig. 12)
attaching the power steering return hose to the
power steering pressure hose routing brackets. Then
remove the 2 bolts attaching the power steering pres-
sure hose routing brackets to the cylinder head (Fig.
12).
(6)
If the vehicle is equipped with a 2.4 liter
engine, remove the tie-strap (Fig. 10) holding the
