Power steering question

I have a 1988 Camry 2.5 V6 with a failed power steering pump. I am replacing the pump along with the two hoses connected to the reservoir. Can someone tell me what they are called? I want to get them replaced at the same time. Thanks

Ummm....if you say 'return line' and 'intake/low pressure line to the pump' people will know what you're talking about. Any reason why you're replacing them? If they're not busted/leaking/cracked, there's really no point. If anything, you should replace the high pressure hose while it's out (there may be a few, but the one people usually refer to is the soft flexible one; the rest are metal pipes). I made the mistake of not doing it when converting my steering to power steering and had to replace it 3 months later because the high pressure hose developed a small crack and pissed all the fluid out when parking.

Just my 2c.

Hey thanks for the info. The high pressure line was replaced 2 1/2 years ago. Nothing is leaking. Just the pump went out. Guess I may not have to replace anything but the pump. Thanks again.
