Abstract

A power steering apparatus (10) includes a housing (22) defining a chamber (25) for holding power steering fluid. The housing (22) has an opening (62, 153, 213) defined by a projection (64, 152, 212) integrally formed on the housing. A conduit (50) extends into the opening (62, 153, 213). A connector assembly (60, 150, 210) connects the conduit (50) with the projection (64, 152, 212) on the housing (22). The connector assembly (60, 150, 210) includes a member (68, 160, 218) engaging the conduit (50) and the projection (64, 152, 212) to connect the conduit with the projection.
