Need PS hose

[Eskimo91q45]

okay so i was messing with the q today put a new belt on the PS pump cuz previous owner didn't have one and as u know that's also the WP belt anyways i was hoping to get my PS problem fixed it still real hard to turn and was looking while had someone turn the wheel and the hose on the bottom of the pump was spraying out fluid so i thing i found the problem but i cant seem to find a replacement hose for it. and don't know what they would call the hose if u got any ideas please let me know thanks again

If the fittings are still good, any shop can attach them to the correct hose. Presume it is the high pressure side?

You should replace all of your belts at once and check bearings to avoid repeat labor.

yeah i replaced the idler pulley as it was stuck and thats why the belt broke off the pumps but yeah the fittings are good im gonna replace the other too belts soon but it is the hose that is under the pump to the rack inlet

Yep - Lots of auto parts stores will build a new hose from the old end fittings. IIRC, NAPA does.

If you live in any larger city, there will also be "Industrial Hydraulic Hose" suppliers that build hoses for commercial vehicles (i.e., bulldozers, fork lifts, farm tractors, tractor-trailer rigs, etc.) - Any one of them should be able to handle it.

I posted "The Hose Shop" industrial hose supplier link a while ago - have used them twice.
Look for posts by ericthered and they *should* pop up.

I had multiple other shops just say no. These are custom jobs reusing the existing fittings, and they still work perfectly. Not saying there aren't others... If you are looking to do it locally, I would start by going to people who are used to rebuilding hoses for random construction and farm equipment.

well i accaully bit the bullet and bought one for 200 off scottsdale but thanks i still feel like i got ripped off but at least im gonna have ps again

Here's the shop I used for that same hose. They brazed male ends on to the crimp ends, and then made a hose with standard connections between the two. I assume they're still in business...

that looks nice. just got tired of no power steering. and i can move on to get my timing chain guides

[Q451990]

Good deal... I think an all new hose is the ideal solution... I was mostly updating the thread for anyone else who reads it in the future.

Good luck with the guides!
