1955 Cadillac Power steering hoses

[Bob Kielar]

Is this hose the pressure hose or the return hose and does it connect to the bottom of the pump?
I know the fittings are different just making sure. The shop manual calls this hose the pressure hose while three vendors call it the return hose.

Thanks,

Bob,

Pressure hose the return hose would not have the splicer collar between the large and small diameter hose.

Thanks Jose,
                    McVeys has this listed correctly and it has the coupler I wanted the coupler for Judging purposes. I bought one but McVeys does not have the return hose. So I bought a return hose from another vendor and it came with the fittings the same as McVeys but without the coupler. I talked with them and they have the return hose but they call it the pressure hose but the fitting that go s on the steering box is at a 45 degree not a 90. Then I went to another vendor and they had a picture of the hose and the fitting was at a 90 but they to call it the pressure hose. One other vendor did not have a picture so I called and he could not tell me how there fittings look. Prices range from $70.00 with the 45 degree $80.00 but they can’t tell me the fittings to $130.00 with the correct fittings but they all call them the pressure lines.

Bob,

Is amazing as to what some seller do/say just to sale their stuff.

Other then McVeys the other vendors offer both return and pressure lines. I suppose most people order both hoses at one time so then it doesn’t matter because the fittings dictate where they go.
