The power steering line the comes from the pump to the reservoir is leaking on my van. The hose is brittle and needs replaced. This is the hose that is only like a foot and a half long. Anyone have a good used one? OR should i just buy a new one? Any advice? Take the old hose to a farm supply repair shop that deals in hydraulics. They will be able to repair your hose by replacing the hose part and nipple collars on your old nipples. I just did this a few weeks ago. Automoti\ve hydraulic shops will not be able to do this job as they do not have high pressure hose, high pressure hose nipple collars or crimping machines for the high pressure hose nipple collars. If you need to replace the rusted metal lines going to the rack, I can supply them. See my Vanagon Power Steering Lines {http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/hose.htm} webpage for complete details.
