Power Steering Hoses Leaking

[calean007]

I don't have a manual for my 1992 LS400, but I was wondering a couple of things.

first, how much are new power steering hoses?

second, are they easy to install, or are they pressurized and you need to take it in somewhere?

well if your looking for the HIGH PRESSURE hose... if you get it from the dealer, it's going to cost you well over $300. That's just the piece mind you. Not with the labor. But i think if you get it at http://www.americanlexusparts.com/ for about $305 but don't quote me... i forgot wut they told me. AmericanLexusParts is a ONLINE OEM store. I think if you get it from the dealer they are looking for around 320 maybe a bit more.

For me... i got the economical version off of ebay. It only costed me $99 then i paid a couple of dollars for shipping.

This is wut i won. I checked the sellers other auctions... but he doesn't have it for LS... but i'm sure if you ask him he might get it for ya.

I think the company is OMEGA. I haven't had n e problems with it yet. It works great. Power steering feels super sensitive and soft to turn. I've contacted the other buyers who purchased it way way way back... n all of them have nothing bad to say. It's still working and the same goes for mine.

As for installing the P/S pressure hose... its a pain in the !Removed!. I didn't do it myself. But i saw where the lines ran... n it looks like a pain in the !Removed!. It goes all the way to the bottom of the car. THe power steering is on the passenger side n i believe it ends at the driver side.

Well good luck and i hope this info helps. B)
