The Vanagon power steering pump puts out 1400 lbs pressure. Normal hydraulic hose will not work for the pressure line. The pressure line I sell is made up from 4000 lb rated industrial quality hose. More than adequate and very easy to install as it comes with the proper female metric threaded ends, is flexible so can be snaked into place easily and will never rust through again.
