I have a 2003 Lexus. I ordered a power steering pressure hose and it came with this yellow plastic cap thing. I don't know what's it for. On various websites I see these yellow caps with power steering hoses and I don't know what are they for? Can someone enlighten me, please. I don't know what these caps for. Do I need them?
From Amazon website:
Q:Whats the little yellow plastic cap for?
A: During the process of replacing power steering hoses, the yellow cap may be useful acting as a plug to go over a steel line, to keep the fluid from running out.
Nice, thank you very much. I had no idea what those things were for. I feel a lot more confident now in doing the job. I'm new at this, being a do it yourselfer Thanks again Yaser
You're welcome and good luck.
Could they possibly just be a cover for shipping purposes to keep dust and dirt out of the hose?
