dalhin mo lang yung hose mo sa mga "power steering hose" shops.. they have the proper hose and fittings for your ride... also they have the right tools needed as you cannot DIY the hose repair.. your hose is CRIMPED and uses high quality hose since power steering operates under high pressure.. repair will cost 1k up.. oem hose cost around 4k to 5k...

it is normal in the first use of the brandnew hose your will hear vibration sound (ugong) but that is just caused of the brandnew hose.. once it bends naturally the sound will go away...

also it is normal that when you turn the steering all the way on any direction, you will hear vibration sound since the pump is struggling to give pressure to your rack and pinion eventhough the steering is in full turn, this can damage your power steering system...you should turn the steering wheel back a little to relieve the pressure.. It is clearly written on your owners manual (if you have) i suggest you read it..

TIA

Naka on ba ACU mo when this happens? try mo off yung ACU at steer ka ng sagad sa right kung mawala yung squeeking sound.

nagawa na rin sa wakas un power steering hose ng car ko,
dinala ko sa "power steering hose shop" then crimp lang nila un hose (less than 30 mins) then kabit doon sa kotse (mazda 323 familia).....

new hose + crimping - 1,225.00
labor + ATF Fluid - 600.00
TOTAL = 1,825.00

heto naman un estimate sa ZAFRA

hose "replacement" - 4,200.00
labor - 750.00
TOTAL = 4,950.00 (di pa kasama ATF dito )

pag orig daw - 7,800.00

Nagtanong naman sa iba :
Original Power Steering Hose sa Pasay Rotonda - 4,500.00

pag bumigay ulit, palitan ko na ng original..hehehe !

hindi na bibigay yan basta basta... pinapalitan mo ba yung fittings?? kasi baka yung ang sumunod na masira...

wag mo kasi ililiko ng sagad yung manibela mo para hindi mag build-up ng high pressure yung system.. kapag nag turn ka ng sagad (u-turn) ibalik mo ng konti (mga 1inch turn back) yung manibela para ma-relieve yung pressure

ganyan nga sir ginagawa ko pag-sumagad ang kabig bawi agad ( un din ang sabi ng manual). un fitting ba sir ang pinagkakapitan ng hose ? pinalitan din un, magkabilang dulo. tama ka sir, pagnakapihit ng todo, doon mo lang maririnig ang ugong pero pag binalik ng konti wala naman.
thanks !
