Pwr Steering Return Hose

Does anyone know where i can order (besides Dodge $50) this return line, none of my local shops have the fitting, only the pressure line and rubber hose. My local junk yard doesnt have one or wont look...Im hoping to find one or get one ordered before the weekend.

I was in a rush and just took another high presure line and cut the end off, then I had the fitting and the rubber hose, just clamped it to the pump.

None of the auto parts stores had any? Napa, Advanced Auto, Autozone, etc.... Most of the time they have the return with the fitting and hose, but don't have the pressure line. I always had to order that to the dealer.

i just took the original line and put a pressure hose on it and put it on the back of the pump with hsoe clamps and either end, it's just return so very little pressure.

I bought mine at advance, they had a univeral one, with a 45 degree bend, i just rebent it to a 90, and made it work, just have them let you go and look at the hoses in the back

I vistied every parts store in my area, most had pressure line...After the 2 local yards failed to produce, i came up with the same idea as taterfarm..I cut off the pump end of the high pressure, went to advance bought about 3 ft of rubber line and 2 clamps...This began as a simple seal replacement on the steering gear box and turned into another gear box & Borgeson shaft, about $400 more than i had plan to spend to fix a "drip" on the box..Anyway thanx for you help...She does seem to drive better, im gonn a keep telling myself that.
