Pontiac Repair: pontiac power steering return line, pontiac power, rubber hoses


Question
I have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am with a 3.4L. The power steering return
line that connects at the steering gear keeps blowing off. We've tried
everything to fix this problem. The hose still seems like its in good shape.
Is there something else that could be causing this?  

Answer
Hi Tressa:

did you replace the hose and line? Or just re attach it to the line? Once the rubber hoses get olf you can clamp it on all you want and it will keep comming off the rubber gets soft and a clamp will not hold it on. use only a factory hose assembly no aftermarket parts. good luck :)
