Power Steering Hose
We do not sell OEM hoses but offer a range of pressure and return power steering hoses and hose ends with AN (Army-Navy) style fittings. The standardized AN system allows for easy assembly of custom-length hoses with various fitting combinations, ideal for unique vehicle setups or modifications. When doing a motor swap or any custom fabrication, it is often necessary to build custom hoses.
Our fittings allow you to adapt most power steering fitting connection types to AN.
Frequently Asked Questions About Power Steering Lines
What is a power steering pressure line hose, and why is it important?
The pressure line hose transports high-pressure hydraulic fluid from the pump to the steering gear.
How do I know when my power steering line needs replacement?
Common signs that you need a new power steering hose include fluid leaks or visible cracks or bulges on the steering line.
What is the difference between a power steering pump hose and a return line hose?
The power steering pump hose, or the pressure line, carries pressurized hydraulic fluid from the steering pump to the steering gear. The return hose transports fluid back to the reservoir at a lower pressure.
How long do power steering hoses typically last?
With proper maintenance, a power steering hose usually lasts between 50,000 to 100,000 miles. Depending on usage and driving conditions, high-performance hoses may offer even more excellent durability.
Can I build my own pressure hose?
Yes. We offer reusable pressure line fittings that are an alternative to crimped hoses. These are common in racing and can be easily assembled and clocked to your specific needs.
