So my power steering is leaking and I found from where(picture). Where can I find this hose, whats the name of it, every time I look the whole P.Steering line comes up, but not just the hose itself.
You can see where it’s ripped from. The black one btw
If I am looking at it right, that looks like the high pressure side. If I am correct as in most cars you wouldn't be able to just replace the hose as the high pressure side isn't just a rubber hose but a metal line so hence why you see everything
The wife's Acura high side had to be replaced as a whole unit- high and low. In my case the subframe had to be dropped, one of the few times I've paid for labor, gl!
it's a woven metal reinforced rubber line, hence why it is flexible (aka a 2 wire hydraulic line). Requires crimp fittings like the one in the photo. You have two options.
1. Find a hydraulic hose supplier near you, see what they have for crimping equipment. they may have something portable that they can use in the confined space after you take the big nut off the top of that line where it goes into the pump.
2. As you can see in the photo below, that line connects to the rack where the steering column interfaces after it transitions to a hard line. You can remove the hard line there on the drivers side and swap out the whole length of line then carry the pressure sensor over onto the new line assembly. This isn't for the faint of heart. 50/50 if it can be done with the engine in the car. Leaning towards no. See if you can find someone willing to crimp a patch line in there for you... Probably metric reinforced line.
