Really want to thank you for posting this. I'm car dumb and have been nursing a power steering problem for months due to my worry it was going to be hard and expensive. Upon seeing your video I attempted it and got it fixed. The fact that you couldn't remember the lifting thingy boosted my confidence. And the fact that you held the camera in one hand and fixed it with other helped to.
This is the first repair job I ever performed on any car. you might want to check out my other videos for other common issues you may run into later on.
link375 . Thanx for uploading. Gi have the same issue and couldn't afford the almost $300 to fix it. This video game me confidence. Great job fixing it with one hand. Next time be more careful using that jack, be safe. Looking forward to future videos.
David Robinson lol keep in mind I knew nothing about cars when I made these videos. It's been a few years now and I've worked on 2 or 3 cars. The jeep was definitely a nightmare but for whatever reason I still miss it. I always use 2 or 3 jack stands when I work on my car now. Looking back I can't believe I this this although I'm a pretty small guy, most of the time I could get under the jeep without using a jack or stands.
Super helpful video! Gonna install this weekend. Only thing I'll recommend is to lubricate the o-rings with power steering fluid before installing, if installing dry there will be a tendency to tear the o-ring and lose it's sealing abilities..
MR. ANDERSON,
JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS FOR GIVING ME HOPE/OPTIMISM
re: AN ISSUE APPARENTLY PLAGUING A LARGE GROUP OF JEEP OWNERS.
.
THE UN-INTIMIDATING MANNER YOU EMPLOYED IN THE VIDEO IS A REAL
CONFIDENCE BOOST FOR ME... AS I'M IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING A 2002
Grand Cherokee Limited WITH THE SAME PS-NOISE ISSUES THAT ALOT OF
FOLKS HAVE TO DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS.
.
NO FEAR...
GONNA BUY THAT BABY AND WORK HER QUIET!
.
AGAIN... THANK YOU.
s/y Eric V.
glad it helped you out, I just got this jeep and I've had to do a few repairs on it, so there's a few more videos coming on some of the common issues I've ran into. remember to like or share the video so others can get a chance to view it! thanks!
Thanks, did a good job of covering everything.
Very informative . Thanks
Good video and good advice. I am wondering if its a good idea to use the teflon tape. I guess it did not hurt, but the o-rings are supposed to seal the fittings. The noise heard at the end of the steering travel is normal, all cars with power steering make noise when you hit the stop on either side. IMHO, its best to avoid steering up against the stop, back off the stop and steer a little wider. How is your steering after a couple months? Leak free on the high pressure hose?
Nice job 👍
Went looking for videos after struggling to replace the high pressure hose today. Not surprised to see the aftermarket hose is the issue. The one I got from Autozone (their brand I believe) is a PITA. Was difficult getting the top fitting on and absolutely impossible to get the bottom fitting on. Guess I’ll have to track down a Mopar hose. Wonder if Autozone will take their garbage hose back...
Thanks for the video. Easy to replace with the exception of the bottom fitting coming loose. 13/16/ wrench is very sloppy and does no help the situation. I jammed some wood pieces between the aluminum piece and the motor pulley to prevent the flexing of the fan shroud. I used an 8" adjustable wrench and finally was able to loosen the fitting.
Metric wrench needed.
Link375... thank you for your time and generosity. This video is very helpful. I have a slow power steering leak that needs attention soon. The procedure seems pretty straight forwards and I think I can tackle it myself. A few notes on some of the technical details. You are using thread sealer for water pipes. The Power Steering system is high pressure hydraulic exposed to high heat. I don't think that is the right choice. I think you need a heat tested hydraulic thread sealer like Loctite 567 or 5770.
Also, I think your procedure for removing air from the system isn't adequate. The Jeep has a fluid cooler. I think it probably takes about 20 turns with the jeep in the air and the tires removed with the cap open to remove the air bubbles. The Jeep should be off the ground with the wheels off so it can turn with the engine turned off. After 20 or 30 turns or when the reservoir stops needing fluid added, I think you start the engine and turn it off immediately and then top off the fluid. At this point you should be able to start the engine and cycle the steering wheel several times with the cap off and the fluid shouldn’t go down(tires still off and frontend in the air). Once it stops going down, no air bubbles you should be able to shut the engine, put the cap back on, put the wheels back on and the system should work smoothly. If not there is still air in the system.
if you leave the cap off it would spray everywhere. either way, my way worked. good info in your comment though.
thanks.
NEVER NEVER NEVER simply use a jack to hold a car up. SAFETY!!!!!!!!!!!
Spend $20 and get some jack stands!
Marv2 So true! I almost stopped watching at that point, figuring this had to be a major amateur move. Proof that everyone has something still to learn...
good info thanks
I went to the link for the replacement hose. Was it really over $60? My dad said there were cheaper ones but idk??
What a rocket scientist
I am having a bad leak and gravity is pulling it down the pitman arm. So this weekend I am going to trace the lines with my hands to find the leak. Hopefully it isn't a pump failure mine is a 4.0 though btw.
Make sure to use the correct power steering fluid due to the hydraulic fan being run by the power steering pump. Fluid must say it is approved for Mopar MS5931 or MS10838.
I bought one like this but in black for 2000. Has 185k miles and everything works but when I have to turn the steering wheel when stopped it’s almost impossible to do so. Also there is a whining noise when doing that coming from the power steering. Is it the pump or the rack and pinion?
They want $135 for the new hose. Is there any way to fix this quick connect fitting?
Great video...I am just about to do this repair myself. Question.....did you need any adapter for the pump end of the hose or did the new part fit right in? Also, what size wrench did you use to loosen the bottom end? I am trying to get mine loose and am having a really hard time....the fan shroud is flexing a bit and am afraid of damaging it. Thanks!
13/16 Wrench for both ends...or adjustable wrtench
Thanks :)
Hey link had a question. My power steering seems to be making noise as well but there's still fluid inside. Notice it leaks as well. Can it be the hose I have to replace or pump?
if it's leaking from the same place, then it's the hose, if it's from somewhere else, then it'll be something else
I do appreciate the video, but you should have just taken the old hose to a Napa and had them find an o-ring for you. Also, do NOT use teflon tape for that kind of fitting. Teflon tape is for pipe fittings, where the THREADS are the seal. In this case the O-RING is the seal, and you add interference to the threads when tightening the o-ring, possibly leading to incorrect pressure on the o-ring.
Do not use teflon tape. The o-ring seals the hose. If there is a leak, it is coming from the o-ring.
Where can i get the oring for it? I have a 97 cherokee and i used teflon tape and itbstill leaks, i can hear the pump as well
So I bought the new hose from O'reillys with the same kind of fittings on both sides, but it doesn't line up with the pump and fan! It's like there are too many bends in it or something. I do most of my automotive work at home and this is killing me. Can you shed any light on this? Thanks!
as I explained in the video, the Oreillys hose sucks.. return it and buy the one on the link in the video description
You might’ve bought the hose for the 4.0 instead of 4.7 or visa versa.
Hi Link...so I'm having trouble getting the bottom nut loose to come off from the old hose. Any suggestions for a noobie?
use WD40, spray it and let it sit for 5-10 minutes then try again. make sure you use the proper wrench, you don't want to strip that nut.
additionally you could also use a lighter or preferably a torch lighter to heat it up and then try to loosen it up with your wrench.
just be careful not to touch it while it's still hot

I also had a hard time removing that nut, just be patient, it will have to give in eventually
link375 Thanks link but I think I am screwed. I soaked the thing in WD40 and am using the right wrench. Part of me thinks the bottom end of the hose was jammed in because it hasn't budged even a little bit for me.
Peter Shackelford you could also try one of those adjusting wrenches. they're bigger and will give you more leverage.like I mentioned I struggled with mine was well, I had to use a wrench and then hit it with a hammer a few times to loosed it up
good 👍👍👍
So want to drop trans pan for selenoid and sensor change and filter. 126000 miles, never changed oil. Is it ok? Read it's not.
Just NOT doing a. FLUSH, just dropping the pan.
Hi..looking good..But your new hose requires that you remove the "adapter" on the PS pump? My old one hose 5019708AB was leak and i order new one 5019708AE. only this pats selling. When i drive to service, our service man can`t installed new hose, they tell me need new "adapter" on the pump. Hmmm on your video you are used adapter or you not have in your old hose?
the new hose comes with an adapter in place. if you use the old one it's pointless as this is where it leaks in the first place
link375
Yes i have new hose as you with new adapter to pump. I right understand what need remove old adapter from pump? Or you have new pump without any adapters? Mine have adapter and in this adapter was installed old hose fitting.
I found answer i think...oem pump have other type adapter for hose. new one have other designed...look like on that pictures. my one on the right.

I noticed your power steering pump seemed to be very noisy. did that go away after time.. I have this same problem after changing out my radiator.
yes it went back to it's normal state after all the air was cleared out of the new hose. and I let he fluid settle down to get rid of all the bubbles in the pump
Great video thanks, what an aweful design. No thought for maintenance. John

@panamashack this new commenting system sucks.. anyways the tape is Teflon tape it's about 90 cents at any hardware store in the plumbing section
Has anyone tried just changing the "O" rings? Did it work?
I want to know same ....anyone replaced o ring ? Did it work ?
For the work it takes to get the O rings, just replace the hose. It's almost never the O ring.
Replaced o rings (both tubes) on mine about 5 years ago. No leaks yet. Got the orings from Jeep.
no issues or leaks at all after replacing this hose, however I just had my transmission solenoid pack fail, getting error codes P0760 and P0770 which are both in the main solenoid pack. so I'll be making a video tomorrow on how to replace the transmission solenoid pack
Currently working on this exact same problem. Replacing this hose alone, will NOT solve this, or upcoming, RELATED problems.
Things to NOTICE. High pressure hose expands when either turning steering wheel OR turning on AC! This is because the HYDRAULIC FAN motor is faulty/failed. This causes overheating, which causes a CHAIN EFFECT of related failures.
ALSO NOTE the two little solder beads on the TCM FUSE (engine compartment fuses) are NOT 'shiny' like the other fuses, but have a dull, and "wrinkly 'finish... This means your Transmission Valve body or TORQUE CONVERTER are also starting to, or have failed and are drawing too much current. (because of excessive heat)
RECOMMENDATION Drain fluids, replace damaged hose, replace hydraulic fan motor (or assembly) and replace the power steering pump if the "whining" is excessive.
ALSO CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER, or EXPECT to be replacing the transmission next!
(IF your fuse IS solder balls ARE shiny, and you experience NO transmission peculiarities you should STILL replace the fluid and filter to keep it healthy)
Further advice on refilling the power steering reservoir, would be to get BOTH front wheels off the ground (to make things EASY), fill the reservoir, THEN ROTATE the steering wheel all the way from one direction to the other, add fluid and repeat until it stays nearly full, BEFORE starting the engine. This will spare you from causing any further possible pump damage, and help "bleed" the system.
Thanks a lot Link375! I am a noobie to DIY auto repair and maintenance. I watched it and it seems a lot more simple than I thought. Just one question...What is that white sealing tape called and where did you get it?
This must be a v8 because my 4.0 is different. You do not have to go under the car and you need a 16mm and 18mm unless you still have the factory air box. Then you need more tools to remove that.
Yes it is a v8
You probably needed to change the power steering pump as well
So not repaired but replaced?
You can't repair high pressure hoses. They always have to be replaced
@@link375 I gathered as much, the video title is misleading.
Can I place a V8 one on a V6?
V8 hose will not work on the inline 4.0 six cylinder.
It would've been more clear with a camera assistant
Your can get an O ring in any hardware store for less than a buck !
What size o ring
in spite of any errors thanks for this video and sorry Joe F is a jerk. Uncalled for-
I hope you're not making a habit of doing DIY videos. As you dont know what you are doing. This specific power steering/cooling fan requires you to bleed system by jacking Jeep up and rotating steering back and forth with the engine NOT running.
+Joe F this is also the very first car repair I ever did. Power steering worked just fine so there's no need to bleed the system when most of the fluid was already drained by the major leak.

REALLY ??? Not a repair !! This is a replacement, and how can you not know how to source an o-ring ???
It's a high pressure hose...........
@@link375 ????? 3000lb aircraft systems use o rings. common fault / repair
