jc43089 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 My power steering lines are junk, hard as a rock, rusty ends, and leak all over. New ones are really expensive. I am thinking of using AN lines. So my question is: who is using what brands/suppliers? And what are you using it for? Are you happy with it?

0 B C Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 New power steering lines are $$$ new, when I needed some for my Z3 rack swap I found some used for cheap, used new copper washers and I have no leaks. I'd be interested to know if you find some Metric to AN conversion fittings. I haven't really looked for any yet but I will be using them for my new oil cooler setup.

0 jc43089 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Summit has a metric ton of them(pun intended). I found 14x1.5mm and 16x1.5mm, both to -8 which are what I need to put where the banjo bolts used to be. Looks like I will probably spend about the same amount but should have a superior product which is ok to me. 10ft Aeroquip -8 hose, 4Aeroquip hose ends, and metric fittings puts me at $180 from summit. There is much cheaper hose, but IMO you get what you pay for, I have used Aeroquip stuff at work in an industrial application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What areas are you using them for? I'm not sure about for the power steering, says good to 500psi or 800psi with crimp fittings. No problem for oil cooler but pressure from PS pump is right around there or higher. Looks like they have some good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Bassboy3313 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I know you can get any custom hose or line made while you wait at Hyquip. Dont know much about prices tho. I have picked up a few fittings from them here and there. They are located in Butler, Waukesha and Madison. Just an idea. http://www.hyquip.net/fluidpowersites/HyQuip/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 gsxify Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I replaced the P/S line that connects to the reservoir using this part number 32411138419 and napa transmission hose. Hasn't leaked since spring 2013. Oh and new hose clamps. Not my picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
jc43089
My power steering lines are junk, hard as a rock, rusty ends, and leak all over. New ones are really expensive. I am thinking of using AN lines.
So my question is: who is using what brands/suppliers? And what are you using it for? Are you happy with it?
