How to Fix a Power Steering Hose Leak: A Cost-Effective Solution

How to fix a power steering hose leak without replacing the entire hose

When a power steering hose leaks, it’s usually due to rubber degradation at the crimp connector. In the past, the only way to fix the leak was to replace the entire power steering hose. That can be a huge job on some V-6 engines, where the hose is snaked around multiple components. But there’s another way to fix a power steering hose leak by cutting out the leaking section and installing a splice section.

Use an S.U.R. & R. hose repair kit to repair the leak without replacing the entire hose

S.U.R. & R. makes hose repair kits that allow you to replace just the leaking portion of the power steering line. That means you don’t have to fight to remove the fittings at the steering rack, pump or cooler.

Just cut the power steering line at both ends near the crimp connector. Remove the leaking hose and replace it with a new section. Insert the new hose and fitting onto the cut section of the steel line and tighten. Bleed the system and you’re done.
