Hey all, ive just been informed that im loosing power steering fluid from either the high or low pressure hoses... (does that sound right?)

Well anyway just wondering if anyone can tell me if its just a simple, buy new ones and pop em in or is there any specific way i should go about doin this.?

Thanks for any help :)

Peace

It sounds like the low pressure hose. They get brittle next to the headers.
Get a new hose and new clamps from Repco / Bursons - need blade or hex screw driver.
Don't overtighten the hose at the reservior or rack connection. If you can jack up the vehicle - both sides and turn the wheel left to right repeatedly it will get out all the air trapped once you have filled the reservior. This will stop shuddering. Hope it helps. :w00t:
