Power steering pipes

Post by Christine McCabe » Sun Oct 08, 2017 10:57 am

Where can I buy these when every source I try says discontinued. Is there an alternative that I can use. Really cant part with my 1993 2ltr UK spec Prelude for such a silly reason.

Can anyone advise me?

which pipes you talking about are they metal or rubber ones
success is the ability to go from one failure to the next without any loss of enthusiasm :D :D

most garages should be able to make up new power steering hard lines for you using copper tubing...if its the pipes that go to the power steering cooler at the front of the car thats leaking then ive heard that you can cut this out and just loop it with some suitable rubber hose and clamps:)

if its the cooling pipe in front of the rad - i looped it with rubber pipe on my 2.2vti and it never gave me any trouble, including track days.

If its the hydraulic pipes, you might need to remove them and take then to a specialist hydraulic place (pirtek rings a bell) and they can make some new ones up...
