Power steering hose replacement cost

Power steering hose replacement cost. The cost to replace a power steering hose varies based on the type of hose — pressure hose versus return line and the engine size and layout. In some cases, especially on 4-cylinder engines, there’s enough room in the engine compartment for the technician to simply reach down to the power steering pump and steering rack to loosen the power steering hose fittings and remove the hose. But in some V-6 and V-8 engines, the car makers route the lines around engine components that must be removed in order to replace the line. Here are some labor times for various vehicles.\

High pressure return hose: Replace power steering hose from pump to steering rack .8 hrs.

So a hose replacement on this vehicle after a steering rack replacement could easily cost 3-hrs labor plus parts $200. Total $600\
