PS hoses
Re: PS hoses
The only thing I can do is to pull some from a car in a salvage yard. No more exist from what I have seen. I think it will be good to keep some spares from a salvage car to get one refurbished when needed.

Re: PS hoses
Hmmm that sucks.
Guess I'll head to the hydaulic hose store tomorrow and see what they can do. Why can't this car have 1 straight hose on it.

I just used a regular piece of hose, that I got from the hydraulic store that would not erode with the ATF.

Re: PS hoses
Seems like the most popular option is to take an existing hose to a hydraulic shop and have them re-use the end fittings and be back in business. The OEM hoses were pretty expensive too if I recall, I'm thinking like $300 or something for the one hose which is kind of ridiculous considering a hydraulic shop can make the same thing for like $50.

Re: PS hoses
It's not the pressure hose that is leaking on mine, mine is leaking at both ends of the hose that goes from the resevoir to the pump. I beleive it's called the suction hose.
It is available for like $80. I put some new clamps on mine and will check it again in a couple weeks.

My buddy the Infiniti tech told me on Friday the local NAPA store can repair blown power steering hoses for less that it costs to buy new ones from the Infiniti dealer. I had no idea that NAPA could repair high pressure hydraulic hoses.
