So my PS feed line is now leaking at the crimp closest to the pump. After searching I find this is a common problem. Sadly, I just replaced the leaking vavle cover (vc) gaskets and had to disconnect the holder for the PS line and move it a bit to get the rear vc off. Perhaps I was too aggressive.
Anyway, the PS pressure switch on my current one is mounted to an angled fitting like this.
Yet many aftermarket hoses have a straight fitting like this.
Both variants are listed as matching, even on Rockauto.
For those that have changed the line, does this matter? Just want to make sure I get the right one. The ones with the 'angle" are either crazy expensive (Acura/Honda OEM is $150) or delivery after New Year Day (or both). The "straight" is availble on Prime and I'll have it Friday.
if you are certain that you have the right part number for your car (just a note: premium and type s show different oem part numbers) and the right year for your car, then I might suspect it's different to aid with installation? I've not done this myself (hope to never have to) but some people comment that it is difficult to get that sensor on/off. perhaps a different positioning helps with that.
Thanks. I've checked the connection at the rack and it's the same kind of mount as the pump, not the flared end. Since the whole line needs to come out, I'll swap the pressure switch over on the bench.
The part came in. It has the angled port so it's a non-issue. Also came with the grommets, orings and even a plug for the switch port if you don't have the switch (I do).
