vroom8 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 hey guys- could you help me with this one? started the car this morning...heard a whine and then a hose broke on drivers side very front of car- foamy red fluid on the ground. Is that a power steering hose? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzHotLS Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 It sure sounds like it. The 4410 pressure feed hose. Gotta open the hood to verify. http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_U_1991_LEXU...EPGKA_4503.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRP Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 When one of my p/s hoses went on another car ('77 Excalibur), I took the old hoses to my local hydralic hose company and they made me new ones (fittings and all) for a pittance (less than $25). Suggest you try that route but do not tell them that it is for a motor vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzHotLS Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Great suggestion HRP. The hose is prolly a gonner in this car, but for future parts needs: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls460-430-...g-91-ls400.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRP- the pressure hose is mostly steel- but the part that blew is the rubber 6" - do you know what pressure this piece should carry- ot how to find out? I am going to replace just that piece, as the rest seems fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRK Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well as that hose can carry up to 1500 psi, you can't replace it yourself. Get over that idea. Find a local hydraulic shop that repairs and makes up hoses for industrial equipment, like bulldozers and such - an Aeroquip dealer perhaps. They'll install a new hose properly and cheaply on the steel tubing and it will be as good as new or better. It will cost maybe $30.00.

So- I found a hydraulic hose shop- auto parts store- they said they might be able to repair it. (the neighbor thought he could do it- and still thinks he can do it)... anyway...if they can't.... I think i will move on and buy something else. I will sell it or part it out.:cries: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was a transmission coolant hose that had popped!! We replaced the small section of it and everything seems to be fine! So glad it wasn't my PS hydralic hose---but now I know. thank you everyone for the great advice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRP Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 FYI, Most places have a shop that repairs equipment which uses hydralic hoses (fork lifts, etc). And most of them need to be repaired NOW when they die. Google, your phone book (yellow pages), brake shops, etc and help you to find the nearest ones.
