Power Steering Hose ??

I need to replace the high pressure hose on my 97, should I go with an OEM part from a dealer or are the aftermarket ones decent? I hate to spend the cost for OEM when the cheaper ones will work fine. Thanks for any input.

Somebody here is bound to have a good used one. I picked one up from Track Dog four years ago and it's still doing fine. The OEM part is muy expensivo.

When mine started leaking a few years ago, I looked at the crazy OEM price and went aftermarket. It has worked fine so far.

Looks like there are still aftermarket options, but if you ever NEED an OEM line rebuilt, somewhere like Stuart Hose in Lewisville can re-use the OEM ends and re-crimp new rubber on. Never used them for a personal car but back when I was working in shops we had them rebuild all types of power steering lines, AC lines, brake lines, etc.

I used aftermarket with no issues. I've had it in there almost two years.

Thanks for the input, looks like aftermarket wins. And saves me cash

dang i just threw my whe ps system away last week. id have given it to you.
