All,  I've looked in my parts room and have come up with Power  Steering 
Hose # 14064.  There is no brand name on the box but I do  remember the brand 
of Continental previously and I don't think it is the  Continental out of 
Europe.

As I recall in the parts book the  listing was for 1957 Chrysler but it 
does work on the '55 & '56 cars with  the modification on one fitting.  You 
will see a very visible metal step  down about half way through the hose.

Hope this will help some of  you out with the problem.  If I can be of 
further assistance please  ask.

John  Lazenby

I have the same problem with my 57 Saratoga after  replacing the high 
pressure hose; it groans but the ps works fine.  John,  if you can dig up a 
Continental parts number that would be  great!

deteriorated and started  leaking, especially the high pressure hose. New hoses 
attached and now the PS  system "groans" and makes noise. Seems to work OK, 
i.e., power steering works.  It was completely free of noise before the hose 
change. I suspect air in the  system. I removed top fill cap and drained a 
little off the reservoir as it  was full to top. I ran the steering wheel side 
to side at a little above idle  speed. I thought I'd see bubbles or the 
system trying to purge itself. No  success. Shop manual doesn't help much.
