1996 CHRYSLER VOYAGER power steering

NOTE: Before installing power steering pressure
hose on power steering pump, inspect the O-ring
on the power steering pressure hose for damage
and replace if required.
(4) Install the power steering fluid pressure line
onto the output fitting of the power steering pump
(Fig. 21). Tighten the pressure line to pump fitting
tube nut to a torque of 31 N´m (275 in. lbs.).
(5) Install the power steering fluid, low pressure
return hose on the power steering pump low pressure
fitting (Fig. 21).Be sure hose clamps are prop-
erly reinstalled.
(6) Install the power steering fluid supply hose
from the power steering fluid reservoir, on the power
steering pump fluid fitting (Fig. 21).Be sure hose is
clear of accessory drive belts and all hose
clamps are properly reinstalled.
(7) Install the serpentine drive belt (Fig. 20). See
Cooling, Group 7 for detailed installation procedure.
(8) Install the power steering fluid return hose on
the steel tube at the front suspension cradle (Fig.
18).
(9) Install a screw type hose clamp on the power
steering hose to steel tube connection.Be sure hose
clamps are properly reinstalled.Tighten the screw
clamp to a torque of 2 N´m (18 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: The protective heat shield sleeves must
cover the entire rubber hose and hose to tube con-
nection portion of both the power steering fluid
pressure and return hoses (Fig. 18). This is required
to keep the power steering hoses from becoming
overheated.
(10) When used, properly position the protective
heat sleeves on the power steering hoses (Fig. 18).
Then, tie strap the heat sleeves to the power steering
hoses to keep them in their proper position.
(11) Install the exhaust pipe on the exhaust man-
ifold. Install all exhaust system hangers/isolators on
the exhaust system brackets.
(12) Connect the oxygen sensor wiring harness to
the vehicle wiring harness. Install wiring harness
grommet in the floor pan of the vehicle.
(13) Install the accessory drive splash shield (Fig.
19).
(14) Lower vehicle.
CAUTION: Do not use automatic transmission fluid
in power steering system. Only use MoparT, Power
Steering Fluid, or equivalent.
(15) Fill the remote power steering pump fluid res-
ervoir to correct fluid level.
(16) Install cap on power steering fluid reservoir.(17) Connect the negative battery cable on the
negative battery post.
(18) Start engine and turn steering wheel several
times from stop to stop to bleed air from fluid in sys-
tem. Stop engine, check fluid level, and inspect sys-
tem for leaks. See Checking Fluid Level.

is installed past bead on fluid reservoir fitting.
(3) Raise vehicle on jack stands or centered on a
frame contact type hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubri-
cation and Maintenance section of this service man-
ual, for the required lifting procedure to be used for
this vehicle.
(4) Install power steering fluid supply hose on
power steering pump. Install the hose clamp on the
fluid supply hose.Be sure hose clamp is installed
past bead on pump fitting.
(5) Lower vehicle.
(6) Install routing clip on power steering fluid sup-
ply hose. Be sure routing clip is installed in a posi-
tion to correctly align with stud in strut tower.
(7) Install routing clip for power steering fluid sup-
ply hose on stud in strut tower (Fig. 25).
(8) Fill the remote fluid reservoir to the proper
level and let the fluid settle for at least two (2) min-
utes.
(9) Start the engine and let run for a few seconds.
Then turn the engine off.
(10) Add fluid if necessary. Repeat the above pro-
cedure until the fluid level remains constant after
running the engine.
(11) Raise the front wheels off the ground.(12) Start the engine. Slowly turn the steering
wheel right and left, lightly contacting the wheel
stops.
(13) Add power steering fluid if necessary.
(14) Lower the vehicle and turn the steering wheel
slowly from lock to lock.
(15) Stop the engine. Check the fluid level and
refill as required.
(16) If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehi-
cle to stand a few minutes and repeat the above pro-
cedure.
POWER STEERING FLUID PRESSURE HOSE
Service all power steering hoses with vehicle raised
on hoist. Cap all open ends of hoses, power steering
pump fittings and steering gear ports to prevent
entry of foreign material into the components.
WARNING: POWER STEERING OIL, ENGINE
PARTS AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM MAY BE
EXTREMELY HOT IF ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING.
DO NOT START ENGINE WITH ANY LOOSE OR DIS-
CONNECTED HOSES. DO NOT ALLOW HOSES TO
TOUCH HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR CATALYST.
For part reference and part location for the vehicle
that is being serviced, refer to the following figure
numbers. These show the hose bracket locations,
hose routings and fitting locations by the engine
application of the vehicle. Use these figure numbers
when referring to the removal or installation proce-
dures for the power steering hoses listed below.
REMOVE
(1) Remove cap from power steering fluid reser-
voir.
(2) Using a siphon pump, remove as much power
steering fluid as possible from the power steering
fluid reservoir.

installing.
(4) Install the power steering fluid hoses to sus-
pension cradle routing bracket (Fig. 28). Power steer-
ing fluid hoses must remain away from the exhaust
system andmust notcome in contact with any
unfriendly surfaces of the vehicle.
CAUTION: When tightening and torquing the pres-
sure hose at the power steering pump, the pressure
hose is to be rotated against the fluid return hose
fitting on the pump.
(5) Tighten all fasteners shown for specific applica-
tions to their correct torques listed below:

pump fittings and steering gear ports to prevent
entry of foreign material into the components.
WARNING: POWER STEERING OIL, ENGINE
PARTS AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM MAY BE
EXTREMELY HOT IF ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING.
DO NOT START ENGINE WITH ANY LOOSE OR DIS-
CONNECTED HOSES. DO NOT ALLOW HOSES TO
TOUCH HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR CATALYST.
For part reference and part location for the vehicle
that is being serviced, refer to the following figure
numbers. These show the hose bracket locations,
hose routings and fitting locations by the engine
application of the vehicle. Use these figure numbers
when referring to the removal or installation proce-
dures for the power steering hoses listed below.
REMOVE
(1) Remove cap from power steering fluid reser-
voir.
(2) Using a siphon pump, remove as much power
steering fluid as possible from the power steering
fluid reservoir.
(3) Raise vehicle See Hoisting, Group 0. Put oil
drain pan under vehicle to catch power steering fluid.
(4) Raise the insulating heat sleeve on the power
steering hoses to expose the hose to steel tube con-
nection. Remove hose clamp where rubber portion of
power steering fluid return hose attaches to steel
tube on suspension cradle (Fig. 30). Remove rubber
hose from steel tube and allow power steering fluid
to drain from pump.(5) Remove the power steering fluid return hose
from the power steering pump return hose fitting.
INSTALL
(1) Using a lint free towel, wipe clean the open
power steering hose ends and power steering pump
fitting.
(2) Attach the power steering return hose to the
fitting on the power steering pump. Route hose
smoothly avoiding tight bends or kinking. Hose must
remain away from the exhaust system and not come
in contact with any unfriendly surfaces of the vehi-
cle.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
POWER STEERING PUMP PULLEY
DISASSEMBLY
(1) Remove the pulley from the shaft of the power
steering pump using Puller C-4333 or C-4068 (Fig.
33).
CAUTION: Do not hammer on power steering
pump pulley. This will damage the pulley and the
power steering pump.
(2) Replace pulley if it is found to be bent, cracked,
or loose.
ASSEMBLY
(1) Install the pulley with Installer C-4063 (Fig.
34). Do not use the tool adapters.
(2) Ensure that the tool and the pulley remain
aligned with the pump shaft. Prevent the pulley from
being cocked on the shaft.(3) Force pulley flush with the end of the power
steering pump shaft (Fig. 35).
(4) With serpentine belts, run engine until warm
(5 min.) and note any belt chirp. If chirp exists, move
pulley outward approximately 0.5 mm (0.020 in.). If
noise increases, press on 1.0 mm (0.040 in.).Be
careful that pulley does not contact mounting
bolts.

steering hose to steel tube connection. Tighten the
screw clamp to a torque of 2 N´m (18 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: The protective heat shield sleeves must
cover the entire rubber hose and hose to tube con-
nection portion of both the power steering fluid
pressure and return hoses (Fig. 36). This is required
to keep the power steering hoses from becoming
overheated.
(6) When used, properly position the protective
heat sleeves (Fig. 36) on the power steering hoses.
Then, tie strap the heat sleeves to the power steering
hoses to keep them in their proper position.
