Default Help - Looking for Steeriods hoses

I installed the new Steeroids rack system some time ago and so far I am very pleased with the new steering. However, the return line was rubbing and has ruptured. Has anyone replaced these hoses yet and, if so, do you have any replacement part numbers or specs?

You do not list where you live. In Tampa we have a company called Amazon Hose. They will fix the hose while you wait usually for under $20. I have used them for low and high pressure hose applications. Jerry

Like Bill said, why not contact Steeroids (SpeedDirect). I installed one on my '66 3-4 yrs ago and after about 6 months one of the steel lines wore through and started leaking due to rubbing. I contacted Randy Schnose at SpeedDirect and told him the problem. He said they had changed the installation procedure since I installed mine to correct this problem. He sent me a brand new line and the updated procedure free of charge. great customer service.

Thanks guys. I emailed Randy at SpeedDirect and he advised me that the racks typically used are from early to mid 90's Chevrolet Cavalier or Baretta vehicles. I finally found the correct replacement return hose from a 94 Camaro...

Unfortunatly, it appaers that SpeedDirect does not offer replacement hoses or their specs on their website at this time.
