Source to replace rusty ps lines?

Wow. Just talked to dealer parts dept and they want $488.57 for the power steering feed lines. Are there any aftermarket lines for less?

My truck is a 2010 4cyl 4x4.

 

I would check rock auto

 

Thank you!

 

Looks like they are about $84 for the Pressure and Return.
Wow, that’s a big difference!

 

R u talking about the regular lines from pump and rack or the two metal lines affixed on the rack.

 

The regular lines. Steel and rubber.

BTW, is there a tutorial or video for this job anywhere?

 

I don’t know of any DIY’s on it.

I’ve never changed the lines on a Tacoma yet.
But there is usually a metal gasket (looks like a washer) between the banjo bolt for the pressure line.
I would replace this at the same time you do the line.
I didn’t use a new one once...... guess where I had a leak?


I think Toyota calls it the “Pressure Feed Tube Gasket”
But don’t hold me to it.

 

FWIW I had to replace a rusted hard line 2 years Ago. Used a hard brake line and bent it to fit with no issues since.

 

Thanks for all the good advice

 

I used the Rockauto line set when I replaced my rack in February and it fit perfectly. The set came with new crush washers for the pressure side.

 

Same answer as a few above, I used the Sunsong brand lines off Rock Auto about 9 months ago when I did a clutch job and a bunch of other things, no issues whatsoever with them.

 

Got it ordered. Should have it in a few days. Thanks everyone!

 

A local hydraulic shop can build new lines from scratch for fairly cheap. Just take the old ones in and let them know what you want them for and you’ll get some nice new ones in a couple days.

 

Replacing the PS lines is a pretty easy job I would say, as long as you know what you could be in for. But in saying that, the fittings at the rack can be a bitch.
Not a lot of space. MUST use flare nut wrench, 3/8 drive crowfoot. Can cut off as best and short as you can and get six point socket on them. But pay attention and take that area slow. Especially when starting new lines into rack threads.
Hope it goes well for you.

 

Got it done today. The pressure line that threads to the rack was a bitch to get off. The line was rusted to the flare nut. I ended up cutting the steel line with a die grinder and a thin blade. Once it was free it spun out easy.

I used the hoses (sunsong) from rock auto and they seem pretty good.

 

told ya they could be a bitch. I used same deal from Rock auto. Nice lines.

 

Were there any other pieces that you needed? Or just the two lines?
Thanks.

 

Just the 2 lines from rock auto.

I also flushed the fluid and it’s been good to go since.
