[QUOTE="ehoe, post: 82123, member: 141"] I suggest you don't fabricate the power steering hoses, use back ori/oem if possible. I tried fabricating the high pressure hose before and it works ok but after a while the power steering had noises. Finally traced it down to the fabricated hose. Although there were no leaks or punctures in the hose itself, my mechanic said because it is fabricated the tolerences of the pipe, connectors, head, etc not so good and you can face this type of problems. Its a very common problem so my advice is if possible go back to ori if possible and oem if no choice but not fabricate one. Once I change my fabricated hose to an ori, all the noises went away and steering feel was better too!. :D [/QUOTE]
