Power Steering High Pressure Hose

[charbaby]

If anyone can help, I have been searching for my wifes '01 Lexus RX-300 online for the high pressure P/S line and the return line. The return line I can probably make but, I can't find the H/P line/hose. The return line has a small leak and the HP line doesn't look good. Lot's of winter salt is killing them. Can anyone give any other autoparts web sites that carry them. I have searched RockAuto, AdvAutoParts, PepBoy's, Auto Parts Warehouse, and AutoZone.
Should anyone find them, links and part # would be appriceated greatly

Thanks,
CB

It may be easier to have the old one rebuilt. Check your Yellow Pages, there are a lot of shops that service hydraulic hoses. They can repair your old unit with new hose and ferrules, or even build a complete unit from scratch.

I looked around for a min and didn't find anything either. I know the dealership's going to be expensive but that may be your best bet.

x2 just make sure that they know it's for PS and not AC.

AC hose and barbs wont work for PS.

HMMM! Never knew that! I'm not sure if there is any place in my area the does this. Ya think after working on vehicles for almost 40 years that I'd know better. Well, always something to learn. Man, I'll have to search high & low for someone in my area that does this. What is the trade called so I can look it up?

Go price the factory/dealer parts.
Then act shocked and ask for a better price - they often lay down.
For fit, factory parts rock the house on stuff like this.
It is often our only new part option -auto parts stores don't have everything.

BTW, consider painting metal lines for future corrosion resistance.
