The two power steering hoses from the resevior to the power steering pump are cracked however they are not leaking yet. Does anyone know the part number and the best place to purchase these two hoses? They are all rubber with hose clamps on both ends believe they are low pressure hoses. Please help.

I've had experience on a 99 Camry V6, from the illustration, those hoses look almost identical. #8 in the diagram below, $89 for that hose.

I can tell you this, The main hose that goes from the reservoir to the Power steering pump cost a pretty penny and they don't make aftermarket one for it, at least I could not find one.

The return hose is sold as an entire line metal line with Rubber line from the dealer, I did replace it, but all you really need to replace is the rubber hose portion. I simply went to my local o'reilys and bought a foot of fuel line hose that was the same inner diameter.

Do yourself a favor throw those pressure clamps away, I replaced all clamps with stainless screw type clamps.

BTW there is one more hose you should probably replace which runs along the lower frame, if you take out the wheel and look in the wheel well you'll see which one I'm talking about.

For completeness sake there is should be one more section of rubber line that runs behind the front bumper, if you follow the metal lines you should see it. That one also looks like a simple hose without too many bends.

I didn't bother replacing it but if you want to get all the old rubber out that is another one.

I've been looking at those hoses for a while now. Thank you. I thought both hoses went behind the motor to the power steering pump, but looking at the diagram it makes sense. Will replace all three hoses and use new clamps. Really enjoy this site and great people who participate, thank you again.

Contacted Mylparts.com to confirm part numbers of the two power steering hoses from resevior to power steering pump. They are #44348-33090 & #44348-33100.

not sure if your 96 return hose is any different than mine was but I only bought the main one 44348-33090 because of the size and awkward bends.

the other hose 44348-33100 I just replaced the rubber portions with Hose by the foot at Oreillys for the tune of about 10 bucks. the Bends were not too severe that the oem hose was needed.

the lower hose has some kind of rubber sleeve that was glued on to the oem hose, the glue was brittle enough where I could remove it from the old hose and attach it to the new bulk hose.

Would have probably been better if I replaced both hoses but I wanted to save money since all I was replacing was the rubber lines on that entire hose, the metal portion was fine.

BTW, I had also replaced the high pressure hose on the 99 Camry and resealed the powersteering pump with an OEM kit.

I had a severe leak in the high pressure hose, I used an Edelmann hose for about 70 bucks since oem was $400

I also refilled the fluid with Vavoline Maxlife ATF (about 17 bucks at walmart) for 4 quart jug. The cap says Dextron ATF or powersteering fluid is acceptable.

It's been about 2 years since the work and there is no leaks what so ever in the powersteering system. Used to refill that reservoir about once a week!

Those springs should work. However I ordered those hoses for about $189 with no shipping they will arrive Tuesday. Having a lot of minor problems with this car looks like very little maintenance from previous owner however I drive it everyday. Will post other problems on new threads. Thanks.
