Power Steering Hoses
There are two types of power steering hose that connect the power steering pump to the power steering rack or box.
High Pressure Hose - feeds power steering fluid (hydraulic oil) under high pressure from the pump to the steering box or rack. This is used to assist the steering box or rack turn the wheel. The high pressure hoses have thicker rubber on them and screw up metal fittings like brake lines as they need to withstand heat and pressure.
Low Pressure Hose - The return line for the fluid from the box or rack to the power steering pump. The low pressure lines are far simpler and the rubber hose just uses a hose clamp
Popular Questions Asked
What are the symptoms that a Power Steering Hose needs replacing?
Do you have to bleed the Power Steering System after replacing a hose?
After replacing any power steering component it is a good idea to bleed the system. You want to remove any air out of it. A lot of times it is as simple as turning the wheels from lock to lock a few times. Then check and top up power steering fluid as required.
How much do Power Steering Hoses cost?
They are approximately $150 to $500 to replace a power steering hose. Some can be a lot more expensive. It will usually be the high pressure one that fails as this gets worked the hardest. The low pressure ones tend to die of old age rather than being overworked.
