  Q: How to Service and Repair a Power Steering Hose on Chrysler 300M?

  A:

  At the outset, detach the battery ground cable from its mount on the shock tower and section it off with a cable isolator. Place the front tires evenly on the ground and lift up the vehicle until the front tires are just elevated from the floor on a frame contact hoist. Lift the hood, open the locking cap on each Wiper Arm and unscrew the nuts holding them. Start by taking out the wiper module cover and cowl cover, remove the 8 bolts holding the reinforcement to the strut towers and the 1 bolt fixing the wiper assembly to the reinforcement and detach the reinforcement. Take out the resonator and the inlet hose from the Throttle Body and the air let hose from the air cleaner housing lid. Stop the Steering Wheel from turning by clamping it which will keep it straight ahead and protect the Clock Spring. Take out the retaining pin and coupler bolt from the steering column coupler and then unlink the intermediate steering shaft from the coupler. Bend the retaining tabs back on the tie rod to steering gear mounting plate, take out all four bolts and the plate with washers and keep them all on top of the transaxle bell housing. To stop power steering fluid from spilling, use a siphon pump to remove all the fluid you need from the reservoir. Take the nuts from the master cylinder bolts that secure it to the vacuum booster and carefully pry the master cylinder from the top, keeping the brake tubes attached and placing it upright next to the left valve cover. Take the vacuum supply hose out of the vacuum booster where it's attached to the check valve and place it nearby. Remove the hose between the steering gear and reservoir and then unclip the 4 mounting bolts holding the steering gear in place and the mounting bracket on the driver's side. Clear the pressure and return lines by shifting the steering gear and then take out the bolts that anchor the power steering lines to the frame on the left. To change out a 300M's Power Steering Cooler, you should remove the front fascia. Release the power steering fluid return hose from the cooler, letting whatever is left inside drain out and then both lower the car and extract its fluid hoses from behind the front engine compartment.

  Q: How to Install a Power Steering Hose on Chrysler 300M?

  A:

  First, work in reverse by disconnecting each hose and then lift the vehicle while installing them. Tighten the hose onto the power steering fluid cooler, while making sure the hose clamp is on the downstream side past the upset bead. Fit the 300M's deoventrada towards the ground by fitting the front fascia and suspending the vehicle so the tires come close to the ground. Fix the power steering hoses on the left frame rail by bolting them with routing clips, make sure they are tightened to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.). Slip the steering gear and intermediate shaft into the front of the car so that the holes for each component line up in the crossmember. Lightly fasten the bolts on the left side of the steering gear to the crossmember since correct torque on them is required. Then, attach the bolts for the right steering bracket to the crossmember and tighten them to 58 Nm (43 ft. lbs.), after which do the same for the left side bolts. Secure each hose tube to its port on the steering gear at 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). Before you connect the tie rods, ensure the tie rod spacer block in the steering gear bellows fits into the rack's bolt holes. Make sure the tie rods and steering gear are aligned at the center, then fit the bolts and washers between the tie rods and gear, tightening them to 74 ft. lbs. After tightening, bend the retaining plate's tabs against the bolt heads. Attach the vacuum hose for the vacuum booster to the intake manifold vacuum port, keeping it in place with a hose clamp and then screw the master cylinder onto the vacuum booster tightly until you reach 28 Nm (250 inch lbs.). Pull out the clamp, slide a new intermediate shaft onto the steering column shaft and use a tightening torque of 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.) to secure it with the coupler pinch bolt. Use eight bolts to secure the cowl reinforcement to the vehicle at the strut towers and just one more bolt for the wiper module. Assemble the in-line resonator, inlet hose and air let hose on top of the Throttle Body. First, fit the cover over the wiper module and cowl, tightening the screws and afterward fix the Wiper Arms onto the pivots by screwing in their nuts and placing caps on them. Connect the end of the ground wire to the ground stud on the shock tower, then carry out the Power Steering Pump Initial Operation, lower the car and correct front toe as needed.
