fastnfurious Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 i've replaced the bottom hose (which links to the power steering pump) on the power steering reservoir but according to Toyota, the top hose comes together with the cooling rod which i don't see the need to replace them + costs much more! is it possible to replace just the rubber section for the top hose and what's the measurement like ie. hose OD/ID and type of hose? thanks! cheers, Michael (UK-spec Supra TT auto) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 My car has a non standard layout, so stock hoses were no good. I just replaced the hose with some hose I had laying about, never changed the pipe, as like you no need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastnfurious Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 any oil hose will be fine to replace the top hose? don't think it's too much of pressure on these hoses? any advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhooper2 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Get transmission fluid hose from a local auto part store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Apparently, the hose has to be lined specially for carrying oil/PS fluid. I replaced mine recently and had a mare finding hose for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 You can use -8 or -6 braided hose to replace the whole lot. -8 is easier but more expensive. Call ThinkAuto for advice and sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blownminiturbo Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 i used braid but you should be able to get power steering/oil hose that size from a hose specialist who do truck hydraulics and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
