Power Steering Pressure Hose

My Power Steering Pressure Hose is leaking. There are two hoses on top of the pump, the thicker hose is leaking right were the clamp goes. I called Mazda they charging me $280 for the entire set (dono what is included in this set) i found one on ebay and another on a different site. Can anyone give me advice.

E-bay: $42.84 US including shipping

make sure you know the fitting size first before you order the wrong one.

you can get maybe a hydraulic shop or something along that line that deals with pressure hoses to make one for you.
You have to make sure that its rated to atleast minimum 1000psi. Once you turn the steering wheel all the way to the stopping point, the pressure increase A LOT.

Though I would rather buy a hose that fit with ease then wait for a custom made one, but thats me

Yea I was talking about making one with hydraulic hose. I make them for people at my shop, its just a matter of having the right fittings in stock.
