Hi guys,
My power steering hose sprung a leak so I ordered a new one. Unfortunatly the new one from Rock Auto doesnt fit. The resevoir side fits, but the part by the column doesnt.  The female on the hose is a hair too big. Has anyone else ran into this? I called Rock Auto and they were very helpful but stated they are all the same on that fitting.
By the way it is a 70 Charger.
Thanks guys!

Thanks CDR! That looks like it will solve my issue.  :2thumbs:

I just hope I can get the old fitting out without it breaking off, it seems to be in there tight...
