Need A Little Xj Help From The Mj People

[ajohnson928]

I can't seem to find a power steering hose for a 1999 Cherokee SE 2dr 4cyl.  There are plenty of return lines but no high pressure lines on any websites.  Am I missing something or is it a dealer only part for some reason?

Yours has the idle-up sensor.

 

Unplug it and see if it makes a difference, if not, replace it with a 4.0 hose.

Cool, thanks.  And what should I do if it does make a difference with the sensor unplugged?

Look for a place that makes hydrolic hoses should be able to find one in or near your area.

Here is your 2.5 hose.

Thanks for the link.

 

I ended up disassembling the existing hose and finding that the o-rings had gone on it.  I dug around my toolbox until I found one that fit and slapped it all back together.  Problem solved...for now.

On the 2.5 the idle up switch only turns on at high pressure like when the wheel is held at lock. This makes sure the engine won't stall.
