Dorman 979-170 Power Steering Return Hose For Select Toyota Models

Product was OEM fit for 2010 Toyota Camry SE. Great quality product for almost 1/3rd the price for same hose from Toyota.

I’ve had a seeping power steering reservoir return line for quite some time. Over the years it has made quite a mess on the right side frame rail. Not sure where it seeps from but have tried changing/tightening clamps to no avail. Noted here on Amazon that people have changed this whole hose assembly for this very reason.This Dorman part fits well and saves you a fair amount from the dealer part. The bends are perfect and as others have noted you’ll have to reuse 2 hose clamps. To empty the reservoir I simply removed the R side splash guard then removed the lower portion of this hose assembly and let it drain into a pan.Another reviewer had noted the hose assembly is not super easy to replace. It is wedged under some AC lines, and because of the bends it doesn’t just slide out. I found that when I removed the rubber hoses off each end I could then pull the pipe up and towards the front of the car while turning counter clockwise and up and over the alternator pulley. Then repeat in opposite to install. Super tight but it worked, barely.So far so good. I will update the review if anything leaks or fails.Note: Our vehicle calls for Dex III for power steering. I typically don't stray from factory recommendations. My dealer was out so I subbed with Red Line power steering fluid as it is spec’d to replace Dex III. Reg PS not quite the same.

Dorman always comes through!!!!

Replaced this power steering reservoir return hose on 2007 Toyota Camry 2.4L and it fit perfect!

Would have been a perfect fit, if it was the part I needed! One end of this Dorman 979-170 hose connects directly to the power steering fluid reservoir in the engine bay. The hose then connects to a section of horizontal hard line before a 90 degree turn down. The other end of this Dorman setup ends in the vertical with the hose dangling down. The dangling hose connects to a separate hard line which runs underneath the engine.I could not find a Dorman equivalent for the underneath line, but Amazon has "Rein Automotive PSH0423" which I just ordered instead since I only needed that underneath section of line. Hopefully it is the right one!
