Power Steering Hoses

[73Coupe]

I removed what appears to be the original PS hose from my car. After a little cleaning, it looks to be in great shape. Would you reuse it? The rubber is solid, no apparent failure indicators.

What is the acceptable lifespan of a hydraulic hose, assuming no damage?

Was going to order a new hose as the standard operating procedure .... but, the hoses on rock auto have different shapes.

"With OEM Pump":

"With Saginaw Pump":
This also looks like the "OEM replacement" hose from NAPA.

Who has found acceptable replacement hoses that fit?


This is the pump I have - the "Federal pump"

No leaks // looks good and clean now.... Use him for 5 more years....or more....
I have a couple old school parts stores who could have an N.O.R.S. ( aftermarket / replacement) for WAY WAY less than $ 169.95....
That $ 169.95 is Absurd / Rape.....

Wow, yeah, that's ridiculous for what is still an old hose.

Here's one for $265....

Maybe I'll put mine on ebay for $149 and call it "gently used" and swindle some neophyte like Brad's NOS parts is trying to do?

$169.95, FFS :

Thanks to the link posted above, that helped me with some sleuthing, which lead me to the correct part number. Rock auto lists the incorrect hose for my car.

Here we go, this looks more like it, and $25:

Another option is Coast Clutch and Break in Santa Maria they can make all these hoses too I believe, not cheap but can be done! Probably what I will end up doing for my New Yorker once I get to that part

I'm having to go to Santa Maria more and more these days for my automotive and industrial needs, this is the only place where there are useful shops since most have closed in SLO county.
