I was wondering which hose this is, I think it is the HP hose since it is clamped connectors right? also ignore the color of the fluid on the cats some moron accidentally put a little ATF fluid in the Power Steering resevoir.

ATF is supposed to be in the PS resevoir.

Yes Tom is right, the factory calls for Dexetron III AFT in the PS

Isnt Power Steering fluid supposed to be in the Power steering resevoir?

Just for the color difference I believe, otherwise I think they are the same fluid pretty much...IMO

That would be the high pressure hose. I just replaced the return hose, and ut sure didnt look like that, so its got to be the high pressure hose. Look for a recent thread on having this hose re-built rather then replaced. Its supposed to only be about $30 or so, as opposed to a new hose, which is $93 or something.

I went to order the part and I noticed that on 1stsubaru it changes halfway through 92.. On Subaruparts I didnt notice any thing indicating that, I think I need part #7 from this website right?
