Brak e and Pow er Steerin g System Hoses
When servicing the vehicle for sched uled maintenance,

chanical damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears,
cuts, abrasion, and excessive swelling suggest deteriora-
tion of the rubber. Particu lar attention shou ld be made to
exam ining those hose surfaces nearest to high heat
sou rces, such as the exhau st manifold .

fluid when system s are und er pressu re (during vehicle
operation) shou ld be noted before hose is rep laced based
on leakage.
