Power steering hoses are an essential component of a vehicle's power steering system. They are responsible for transferring power steering fluid from the power steering pump to the steering gear, allowing for easy and smooth steering of the vehicle. However, over time, power steering hoses can wear out and develop leaks, requiring replacement to maintain proper functioning of the power steering system.

6. Before installing the new power steering hose, be sure to inspect it for any damage or defects. It is also a good idea to compare the new hose with the old one to ensure they are the same length and have the same fittings.
