Power Steering Hose Failure


Recommended Posts

I just replaced my pressure side hose and it is leaking again at the crimp joint. Did I just get a bad hose? Are hoses not created equal and there is a quality brand I should find? I am not familiar with PS pumps, is there a relief valve which may be stuck and therefore I get some sort pressure spike which fails the hose? I would expect the hose can hold more pressure than the pump, but not sure.

Got mine from RockAuto, there's usually a choice of brands and if possible I stick to Made in USA or....eh, Canada

 

Crimps are pretty fail-proof, can't say it's out of the question but I'd double check everything before calling it on the hose.
