Question Power Steering hose routing

Hi all!
I've looked everywhere and I cannot find the correct power steering hose routing from the reservoir to the rack. I recently replaced the rack and had a new pressure hose made, and it now reacts to whatever rut the road has. Meaning it will pull to the left or right at random times. It also has almost no power steering. I think I put those two hoses on the wrong spot on the rack.

Any help is appreciated!

From what I understand it doesn't make much of a difference weather it is installed or not but some people have reported that removing it results in problems like you are having. Did you reconnect your power steering air control valve? It has two vacuum hoses that run to the throttle body and is on the pump side on the hose coming off of the high pressure line.

It's not possible to install them the wrong way on the rack. The fittings are different sizes for the high pressure and low pressure, plus that would have blown the seals out of your rack by now.

Sounds more like you have air in the rack and it isn't bled properly.

The high pressure is the upper fitting low pressure return is the lower. Did you use powersteering fluid or Dextron?
