Re: [Chrysler300] p/s high pressure hose

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Bob, Henry and All:
I found my material at one of the big box stores (either Lowe's or Home  
Depot).  It is called Armacell, and is a substantial foam rubber.  The  nice 
thing about it is the fact it is slit and has the adhesive already applied,  
protected with easily removable thin plastic material.  Just cut an  
appropriate length section off, put it around the hose, strip the protective  
strips off and carefully press the surfaces together.  Works great and  looks 
good as well.  It may not be available in colder climates where you  better 
have your outside pipes well buried!!

power
steering hose protector.  Just put the slit on the underside so  it doesn't
show.  Pipe insulation is easy to get and it has survived  10 or so years

far.

Regarding the foam sleeve for the high  pressure power steering hose, I just
changed mine and found a foam  substitute from a very unlikely source, your
local pool supply place. It's  called a "sweep hose scrubber" and slides
onto the end of the pool sweep  hose. It is a round, black foam piece about
2 inches long with a hole on  the middle that you slide over the PS hose 
pump
fitting and then down to  the position you want it to be. they cost about
$3.00, it is a Polaris pool  sweep replacement part. It is not a dense foam,
somewhat larger cell  structure than pipe insulation foam, but it fits great
and looks good (at  least I think so). I would think pipe insulation would
also work, but I  have not been able to find it un-slit anywhere.

Hi  Dave,

I put new steering hoses on my J this spring. The factory correct  h/p hose
with the foam sleeve is no longer available; not even through  Goers. But
hoses that work and fit and look OK are readily available  through your
favorite auto parts store. I got mine at O'Reilly, Powercraft  #70329 (made
by Edelmann) for $23. Gates part # is 352700. I think NAPA  part # is 7829
and the price should be about the same. '64 K uses the same  steering hoses.

Finally, found the  exact leak on power steering hose. With wheels turned,
and 413 idling, the  H/P- was just a streaming onto every thing!

Outside of getting a NAPA  redo, is there a source that may have new units?
What a  mess..

Thanks, cleaning up in Va.
