Thread: pwr steering rack connections

Tweet

Below is a picture of my Mustang II Rack and Pinion. Need to know which hose connection is for the pressure line. The connection nearest the steering shaft is larger than the inboard connection. All inputs welcome. Thanks

Does this help?

Pressure fitting is -6AN. The pressure port is M14-1.5 O-ring.
(High pressure from the pump into the rack.)
The return fitting is -6AN. The return port is M16-1.5 O-ring.
(Low pressure from the rack into the reservoir.)

My memory says that the pressure line has the smaller port. This seems to confirm.

Yup that's the answer to my question. Thanks

that's a common problem when someone says its leaking out of BOTH ends---------and usually evev if its only leaking out of one bellows----------OEM stuff was different sizes to make sure hook up was correct but then when hot rodders started getting old and lazy and wanted power steering----------
