Default power steering pump issues.
Ok so the previous owner put on a PS unit.. Love it, but it seems the return hose is porous and needs to be replaced. I don't know who the manf is tho. Were they made by just one company??

thanks,

/joe

Check the Zip catalog or website. They have all of the conversion kits so probably have the individual parts too.

usually power steering return lines are low pressure and are usually held on by hose clamps.
