High pressure power steering hose.....

[Ben824]

So I had my high pressure power steering hose replaced about two years at this little shop by my house back home and I noticed yesterday while replacing my engine temp sensor that its leaking pretty good again so I replace it AGAIN! Anyway if I gotta replace this thing again anybody know where I can get one that won't fail after two years again? I would like something that is going to last me atleast 5 years or more.

try a mopar hose

Autozone?

 

[Ben824]

how long have your mopar and autozone hoses lasted? and how much did they cost?

I've used Edelmann (aftermarket) for years without incident.

If you're so inclined, you can also get adapters (M14 and M16 o-ring hydraulic fittings) to -6AN and make your own hoses using removable ends - I did that on one rig using plumbing from Parker-Hannifin without any trouble.

Edelmann have been reasonably priced (I don't recall exactly how much,) and they're usually "install and forget" for me.

X2^ on the Edelmann

double check the steering from lock to lock and make sure nothing is hitting/rubbing the hose when you're turning

So where can I get the Edelmann hose?

Edelmann is a fairly common aftermarket brand - just call around and ask.

(One thing - don't "lead" the guy behind the counter. Asking "Do you carry Edelmann steering parts" is not good. Asking "What power steering parts/hoses/whatever you're looking for" is a better question. It's too easy for someone who should say "I don't know" to just say "Yes" - and you go in and find out they were wrong...)

I just had my pressure hose on my 97 xj blow. I bought a replacement from edelmann but the connector was about 3/8 of an inch longer on the bottom end. It fit, but the return hose did not clear the new connector when I went to put it back on. Anyone have any suggestions on another brand that they use that holds up.
