P/S Hose Question (pic)
Gotta 90 NA and I see my P/S high pressure hose has cracks. I assume all are in bad shape and I can get hoses except I can't find the hose marked with the 'yellow' arrow. It comes from the steering rack and connects to the return loop pipe. Where can I find a new one? No one seems to carry this hose.

Take the hose with the ends to a hydraulic hose repair shop. They will replace the hose with the correct type of hose for the application needed and use the original hard ends. They can do hydraulic for PS, they will do A/C barrier hose for A/C hoses etc.
My experience with this is that some of these shops are very very reasonably priced. Some of them will break it off in you. If the price is expensive (over $100) walk away and try another.

I was just looking for a hydraulic hose shop online, but none listed around in my area. I saw a place called Racefab online that says they can make any hose. I'll give them a call. Anyone know a fabricator in FL?

Online business listings are garbage for finding info. For several years, if you googled 'orielly' or any combination of 'orielly's auto parts' the first page of results came up with sponsored links for Autozone, Advance Auto, Napa, etc.

Yellow pages i haven't used in years. I will in the future because that was good advice. Pirtek will replace them which I'm gonna take off early and drop them off tomorrow in a nearby city. Thanks!!

Old school rules, but shops are hard to find these days. Machine shops, etc., use to be everywhere but not anymore. The hydraulic shop gave me the name of an A/C shop, so word of mouth is good too.
