1985 4Runner Automatic. After a couple of years, I finally got around to fixing the original lower Power steering hose and am installing it back on the 4Runner. The aftermarket hose just didn't work right. Anyways, I have it threaded into the gear box but notice that there is a bracket on one of the lines that I have no idea what it attaches to. The bracket moves freely. If memory serves me correct, the bracket holds the two PS lines together and keeps them from vibrating. If that is the case, I have no idea what happened to the other bracket that attaches to this one. Can anyone help me out and send me pics of what this should look like and possibly the Toyota part number to the other bracket in case I can't find it? Thanks!

So I found an excellent photo of a gear box from an 87 4Runner on Yotatech, and I noticed that the bracket on that rig bolts onto the gear box (top). So, I wondered if maybe the PS line on my 4Runner is actually from a later model Toyota. Out of curiosity, I looked at my other Toyota (93 pickup) and sure enough, it also has the exact same PS line with the bracket attached to the top of the gear box. Since my 85 has a completely different gear box without top bolts, the bracket must have never been connected to anything. I guess I will leave it dangling....

yes , that would be a correct assumption. there is a boss on the box for it to bolt to .. so either the line , or the box has been changed
