I am new to this Forum and am looking for advice and input on the power steering fluid from one of the lines. Not really sure which one at this point, since I just found out from the dealer when it was there for another issue that was being fixed and ironically I did not have a leak until today. The lines apparently are rusty and leaking fluid. I will be looking tomorrow in the daylight to see if I can find the leak, the fluid is running down onto the frame areas on the driver side to help know what area that the fluid may be coming from. Has anyone ever changed any of the lines and how difficult was it to do? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Since I have posted this I was able to get these lines changed. My brother and I did the work together this Saturday. Although it is not an expensive job, it is not a fun one simply because accessing the power steering lines at the rack n pinion is not easy. We took of both front wheels to have easier access to the sides of the areas where the lines are. I would not want to do this job again, so glad it is all done. Not easy but not impossible to do.

 

hi im new hear but haveing same problem did u use after market hoses

 

I did purchase the parts at AutoZone much cheaper than the dealer and took a few hours on a weekend to fix it. There are 3 lines that connect to the PS unit and pump. Two lines are high pressure lines and one is not. You have to use lines that are prefabbed with rubber lines and the molded metal lines. you will have to slowly feed them through to go where the original lines go but it can happen if you take your time. Good luck if you are going to do this job. It helps if two people do the work together since you will need another set of hands at times makes the job a lot easier.
