Power Steering

[FFNPMcD]

Massive leaking from my high pressure lines from the power steering pump indicate it's time to replace them...
Any special tools needed? Where, other than the dealer; might I be able to find these lines?

thanks,

leaky lines

Hello Neill. Since you know which side the leak is, high pressure side ) , most professional hydraulic hose companies should be able to make them for you, and be able to locate or find a substitute fitting, or adapter on the high pressure side. They may have to alter a fitting to make it work, and get a little creative, but no big deal for a professional co. The low pressure side is the return side, and most parts stores should carry this line.
Take it down to the car wash or if you own a pressure washer, pressure clean the area to locate the leak.

Hope this helps…………Chongo

All you should need as far as tools go are some line wrenches... you may need them later anyways, so buy a metric set.

And as Chongo said... find a hydraulic shop and have them make a set... take to old to them and they can match it, and make them better than new.

Hey Joey ...

Why don't you reconsider the move to Cincinnati and put the garage in Richmond?
