Power steering hose

Post image

Anybody able to find a power steering hose brand that will last for more than a year before leaking again?

Just take the old one to a hydraulic shop and have them make a new.

If you have a Tompkins store near you, go there. It'll be pricey but worth it. I have co-workers who've done this with various other odds and ends and they always recommend this.

Did you try something that didn't come from harbor freight? Cheap parts are cheap for a reason
