05/06 Power Steering Hose Deterioration

[JOETWINT]

I just came across this thread looking to purchase another hose for a friends Heritage. After reading that the new return hose is failing in the same fashion as the original I went to check my GT . I can confirm my new replacement hose is weeping just like the original. Any updates on new hoses that don’t fail?

I've had two of the after market ones go bad - the "original" and its (free) replacement. Apparently not a peep from the supplier since last September .....

The only way to get a hose that won’t seep is to build a silicone hose and they kinda look like they are wrapped like you would wrap something with electrical tape etc. Unless a hose is made with some sort of liner a rubber water hose which was used by ford will not work or last and they will always bleed oil as they are not designed for oils.

Could this be made to work? Titan UFW Ultraflex 2SNK Braided Hydraulic Hose. Min bend radius 3.5 inch.

Maybe this is a good option?

Looking for a power steering hose from the reservoir to the pump…it’s 5/8 in diameter. Can anyone help supply this part? Would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Vance

Has anyone that bought these first edition replacement hoses ever heard anything about replacement or reimbursement for the defective units that were purchased?
Seems like it has been long enough that something should have been done by now.

Unlikely to happen

As FYI, the original power steering return line hoses lasted about 20 years. These first edition replacement hoses all seem to be weeping pretty bad after 1 year. Just FYI - if you've installed one of these on your car, you really need to get it replaced = perhaps easiest at your next oil change interval.
