Power Steering Hose Sets
For the Jaguar Chevy V8 conversions, special power
steering hoses are required that mate the Chevy power steering pump to the
Jaguar power steering rack and pinion. We offer several different sets of custom
made hoses for the different Chevy-Jaguar applications, all designed to work
with a standard GM power steering pump on a standard GM accessory drive. Each
set includes a properly sized pressure line, and a corresponding return line (2
hoses per car). The pressure hoses all used the latest O-ring seal design on
the pump end. These hose sets are designed for 70-87 XJ6 XJ12 XJ6C and XJ12C,
and all 76-96 XJS models. These are not standard parts- they are all specially
designed and manufactured to fit the various Jaguar Chevy applications. The
install directly on the Jaguar steering rack and the GM/Chevy power steering
pump. The
different applications are as follows:
1969-92 Chevy Carbureted, TBI, or TPI engines using V-
belt or Serpentine accessory drive
1993-1997 Chevy LT1 using Camaro LT1 or Caprice/Impala SS
LT1 accessory drive
1998-2008 LS1, LS2, LS-based V8’s using 1998-2002 Camaro
LS1 accessory drive
Power Steering Hose Notes: For owners of 70-77 XJ6
models, it is probably worthwhile to switch your steering rack to the later
short tower design while doing your V8 conversion. The later rack is a more
reliable design and is easier to get parts for, and has a better steering ratio
as well. Our power steering hose sets are designed to work with the later rack
designs as well. For more info on this, please contact us.
Pictured below is a typical power steering hose set- this
one is for the LT1 engine, but the other types (Carb/TBI/TPI or LS1) are similar
(varying hose lengths and end fitting designs).. The pressure line is on the
outside and return in the center . The close-up shot is of the O-ring style
fitting for the power steering pump end of the high pressure hose as mentioned
above.
