Hey guys-
So I’m doing a power steering cleanup (reservoir, and the two lines from the reservoir). The lines I had on the car were oem but the return line didn’t have the restrictor in it. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible to obtain this little piece separate from buying a whole new line? |

Did the return line have a crimp clamp 6 - 8 inches away from the end of the line that attaches to the reservoir?
The restriction is not intended as ‘optional’ and not purchased separately. I have experienced a return line that had the intermediate clamp but the restriction was ‘loose and floating’ in the hose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you knew the outer diameter and inner hole, you could probably make or adapt a restrictor.

True Value/Ace seems to have a good selection of odd hardware.
Possibly, you could find a bushing or cable ferrule same diameter or close to hose ID …I think something in plastic would work. Add a crimp or hose clamp just down stream to retain it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'll review the photos of my 96 later. I'm sure I have a view of the hose in question.

No. Maybe a previous owner who did not know better replaced your leaking stick hose with a section of aftermarket hose and left out the flow restrictor.

I thought that may have been a possibility too. The return hose had the original clamp on it though to the trombone (not a worm clamp).
