I really need some help. I replaced the whole steering racck and power steering pump and am trying to install the hoses but can't for the life of me figure how they are router from the rack past the engine and back to the pump. Can anyone please provide a picture? No matter how i try and route it, it is rubbibg on something.

The one in the manual don't have the hose bends.

Have to get the truck back together today!

Thanks
Mike

 

Duh, I guess it would help to provide some vehicle info. Dodge Dakota 2002 extended cab 4.7L 4x4.

Thanks

 

I've resorted to driving around the neighborhood looking for another dakota in the hopes of asking the person if i can look under their car.

 

Will this help?

 

Best way to prevent that problem is take lots of pictures before you start

 

Thanks Dan. Yeah, that's what I found in the manual also but it don't match the truck. The power steering lines are curved. Thanks for sending that though.

 

I actually searched used car lots in the area and found that one in Bridgeville had an 2004 extended cab 4x4. I looked the part number up for that truck and found it was the same as my 2002. My son and I drove down there, crawled under and snapped a few pics with my phone. Thanks God I did because I didn't think this is the way they were supposed to go but I tried it when I wen't home and the slid right in. Here is the money shot.

 

Tell me about it. I always do but I was so happy to get the damn rack and pinion assemble out I forgot.

 

I just finished mine over the weekend... had same problem... google images to the rescue!
