02-06 Camry's ( Kentucky, USA built) : the part Mr Tran replaced is Toyota # 44406-06100, " Return Tube Sub Assembly " . However, the part that fails after several years are those short rubber hoses . Toyota will not sell them individually, you have to purchase the whole assembly. I learned that the return line rubber hoses that Toyota uses for this is a true 10mm inner diameter hose. These are not gotten at an average parts store. The industry standard 3/8" power steering return hose may compromise /collapse the tubing as the mechanic struggles to install the 3/8" hose. The correct sized I.D., & rated for power steering fluid, part is , " Duralast 80565" or " EDELMANN 80565 ", gotten online.
Excellent piece of information, thanks for sharing. Isn't it strange that Toyota doesn't sell the rubber hose which connects to the reservoir, its stupid.
just did this on my 2008 camry. easier with the dogbone mount removed. ordered just a suitable 10mm id rubber hose from aliexpress for 8$ and it worked fine. Thanks for toyota for making it cheaper to be able to replace just the rubber hoses. upon cutting the upper rubber hose it is very brittle and i think over time heat destroyes the rubber and it makes it easier for the hose to leak/seap..
Honestly all you needed was to replace leaking degraded rubber hose with a better quality rubber hose. Replacing entire return line assembly is not necessary because there is no pressure fittings leaking and the aluminum tubing rarely gets corroded, just the rubber tubing. Thanks for the video though 👍
Anybody know the inner diameter of that ~9" length of hose that leaves the PS Reservoir and snakes toward the radiator? A 3/8" PS grade hose is too small. I know not to use a heater grade hose. Thx!
My interpretation, of Mr Tran's advice of replacing both AL tubing & non-standard hoses, is the following: the combination of chemically worn mushroom tip of the aluminium tubing + non-standard PS hose inner diameter that Toyota uses = eventual leak again in ~12 months. This is that ugly thing called planned obsolescence. I am sorry to say Toyota is starting to inject it's cars with it. Please see 5th gen, 2003-2006, Camry's. Headache machines. Plastic exhaust manifolds. Stripped head gasket bolts. Piston rings designed to fail. " Oh, lets not use industry standard 3/8" PS. " The 3rd /4th gen Camry's were just so dependable for decades....
Actually a simpler fix is to replace the spring clamp with a screw tightened clamp. The metal tube does not leak. The leaks happen at the tube-hose joints. My 2010 Camry PS reservoir to the return hose appeared lose judging from the liquid stains nearby. It is fixed this way. The reason I am watching this video is my older 99 Camry has rusted return line that makes me concerned.
On my 4 cyl. 2007 camry, the hardest part of the job is getting the old hose out and the new one into position, I found that taking off the alternator is the key solution 😮.
Excellent video Mr. Tran! The engine bay inside your car is immaculate and kudos for finishing the job in a rainstorm. I also agree its better to install the entire OEM return assembly instead of just replacing the rubber hose connecting to the reservoir. Its a special hose and my local Autozone store does not have a generic replacement with the exact inner diameter.
That “U” shaped bend or “J” bend in plumbers lingo is where mine has become pitted and now leaking. Does anyone know what that section is called. Or the part # ? It goes to the steering rack. Much thanks if anyone would know.
Im not quite sure I understand why I cant just replace the rubber hose with this problem. Seems to me that would work just fine. Is there a specific inside diameter issue that is going to keep it from working ? Are the hoses out there not the correct type for that fluid ? Not a mechanic, but seems replacing the hose would be just fine. Anyone know why i cant just replace the hose ? Has just replacing the hose and had it work out ok ? Help please
Hey great vid. But have a question would help me greatly if you could answer. At 21:41 in the vid where you are showing from underneath the car, what is the part called for the curved line that attaches to the hose that you pulled off of it? The curved hose that attaches to the one you removed and runs through the bottom? Mine is leaking right on that curved part and need to replace it. Just not sure what the hose is called? Pressure line? Return line? Or something else? Thanks for the vid. Most helpful one I've found. I have 2008 Camry btw
They dont have a name for that hose in the botton. And the dealer dont just sell that piece only. The whole hoses assembly i brought was call the return line power steering. To save money u can just take out that botton hose and take it to advance auto parts or napa. They should able cut up a hose that the same size u needed. Just a headup it may leak in again in 1 or 2 year. Hope that help.
Hi-I have a 2007 Lexus ES 350. They are identical cars as the Camry btw. Mine is leaking exactly where you are describing. Right at the bottom of that “J” bend. It’s not a hose, it’s actually an aluminumish tube like the rest of the tubing. Mine has pitted and developed a small pin hole and leaking fluid. I am also looking for what that section is called. If you found out please message me. It’s a real PIA. Thanks a million 👍🏼
Yes you could just replace the top hose and clamp with aftermarket hose and clamps from napa. But more likely they will leak again in a year or so.Toyota dont just sell the hose and clamp by them self. So that why i change the whole thing.

You are the man! Only my small upper hose is leaking. The lower rubber hose and the metal tube are fine. This is exactly the info I needed. Thanks.
Thank you so much, sir. I was afraid I would have to drop $100+ on the assembly. Just $17 on Amazon.
Would this work for a 2011 camry ?
Ty for this info, I got the Edelman 80565 but the molding isnt right but I just bent it and made it fit. Is that OK? 2008 Camry

@@ferndog1461 3/8” is 9.5mm. I read somewhere the OEM ID is 10mm, so 3/8 would fit with some stretch.

Wow .. It started to rain at the end. Great detailed video by the way 👍

At 21:46 where does that u shape bend hose go to
@@B-S1999 it connects to the steering rack

thanks for the video!
Very useful video My line leaks at the front where the metal line bends back up. Thanks.
np sir
Good detail video. Why change all there pieces of the hose if only the top rubber hose is leaking?
Great video thanks
Thanks, great video
Great vid. could you please include the part number or link where you got from? Thanks.
👍
It's exactly what I need. Thank you
what size hose do you need if you just replace the rubber section of the front line?
Great video! Thank you.
Thanks for uploading this video. Is the power steering system same for the 4 cylinder Camry? I noticed that the car you were working on was the V6.
Im not quite sure I understand why I cant just replace the rubber hose with this problem. Seems to me that would work just fine.

well done & I perfer this no music vid
Good video. Where does it typically leak from?
top hose
What kind of fluid did you put in there. The fluid is supposed to be pink... Toyota requires ATF Dexron ll or lll
I used bg power steering fluid
2002-2006 Camry's use ordinary Dexron II or III. It's just that toyota OEM uses different color ( cosmetic). PEACE.
Where you get the complete hose assembly
Is that low pressure hose?
Is dorman 979-170 the right part?
Ok Thank you Ponyo!
How do you release that connector or clip connected to the A.C line?Having a hard time.Thanks.
just push it up the tab and pull out
Thanks Tran.
Where is power steering pressure switch located
Mine has a code for pressure switch

What is the inside measurement of the rubber hose?
Xe tôi 2010 camry cũng bị leak giống vậy. A cho xin part number của ống day đó để tôi mua thay..cám ơn
how much oil needed to fill it up ?
Not too much, less than 1 quart
Hi Ponyo. Just wondering, why did you have to replace the pipe also? Was it not enough to just replace the top hose? Thank you.
Yes you could just replace the top hose and clamp with aftermarket hose and clamps from napa. But more likely they will leak again in a year or so.Toyota dont just sell the hose and clamp by them self. So that why i change the whole thing.
@@ponyotran2996 You could have used the Toyota's top hose without replacing the rest.
Did you use OEM or aftermarket? great video.
I used oem
I want to buy your car 😆
If anyone wondering, part number for the hose was 44406-06171
