so turning into my driveway today my hose leading from what looks to be the power stearing fluid resivour on the right hand side (if your sitting in the drivers seat) of the engine bay to the radiator ruptured creating a wonderful noise and smoke cloud. My question is what is the hose I need to replace called? I cant find a part number on it. Also, it looks as if some part right next to the resivor exploded and is now completely missing with,the exception of a few washers, a bolt and a bit of rubber. I'm not sure what this was and can't find a good picture of the engine bay to see if there was something there!


Any help would be greatly apreciated!!!!

Sounds like one of the high pressure hoses, as a low side hose has little to no pressure.

Take a look at this link, has pictures of the various hoses. Good luck

Link takes you to site; select 95-97 XJ parts, then steering / power steering hoses-

Thanks very much!
