Short power steering hoses

[C7-XR7]

Can you help a guy out?
I ordered a set of short hoses from WCCC.
The shorter of the two has a thick yellow stripe and the
longer hose has a thin yellow stripe.
#C6OA-3A714-A short
#C6OA-3A717-A longer
Does this look correct?

How do you know which end of the hose goes to the ram and which end to the valve?

Thanks,
Jim

Power Steering Hose Routing

I just rebuilt the power steering cylinder with new gaskets, bearings and rubber boots, and repaired my leaking power steering reservoir. I figured what the heck I’ll replace the lines while I am at it and ordered a replacement set from WCCC. They did not have the same bends as the hoses I took off so I tried bending them to match and wound up kinking one and shearing the other. Afterwards I found out they are designed to be routed differently. That was a $140 lesson. So I ordered another …

The 3A717 is the upper hose in the pic GAH posted above, 3A714 is the lower.

Heres a pic from the Mfg of these hoses. Bluedot Specialties

Look carefully at the crimp part of the ends. They are stamped with CYL

Yes! Thank you, pictures always help.
Now I know which hose goes top/bottom.
As far as which end goes to the cylinder … I’m thinking the end with less
of a bend to it?
My plan is to build everything from the idler arm to the end of a new steering link
with new parts. Then remove all the old stuff and mount up the new unit.
