Hi, 1987 Alpha 1, 2008 Merc 5.7 L 350. Needed to replace the power steering pistom on the transom. Last owner did a poor brazing job. The replacement is a newer model. The older model had one small fitting and one larger. The newer has two larger fittings. I do have new hoses. Just want to made sure that the high pressure hose was the hose wiht the smaller fitting on the older model piston which went directly to the pump? Thanks Roman

Re: Power steering piston question

I do have new hoses.

Ayuh,... Isn't 1 of them Obviously a Hi-pressure line,+ the other a hoseclamp line,..??

The Hi-pressure line goes from the pump to the actuator,...
The low pressure goes from the actuator to the cooler to the pump...
