Quality made hose and materials. Unfortunately the end that fits into the rack and pinion is not a correct fitment. Remains loose in the housing and leaked all over the place. All power steering fluid was forced out of the system.

It worked good on my 2007 Ford F150 King Ranch 5.4L with the new power steering pump.

Install was a bear. Pulled the power steering pump and changed that end out on the bench. Seems strong and well built. No leaks and is working well.

Had a pretty steady leak on the high pressure line and bought this to replace the bad one. All in all it's the right part and has everything you need. You will need to reuse or transfer your old brackets and pressure sensor though. It also has a plug with an o-ring to plug the sensor port if not needed. Otherwise if you have the sensor and it's good but the o-ring is shot it's at least great that can pull the new o-ring off the port plug and replace it onto the old sensor. Also make sure to lube all seals with either the recommended fluid or I simply used lithium grease which will work as well. Also this job is not the easiest or it is an incredibly annoying one to do at the very least. If the truck/vehicle has over 100k I personally recommend cutting the line right at the 90 degree junction block for the quick connect going into the powersteering pump. Granted space is tight but with a steady and patient hand it is doable. Then use a 11/16" or 18mm deep well socket and ratchet with some long extensions to clear your rack and front cross member. As mentioned there is absolutely little to no room to get the threaded quick connect adapter out of the pump otherwise. Am sure there are other ways but for me this way yielded the least amount of head and heart ache, haha. With all that said the part is working as it should and will update if anything leaks or gets faulty prematurely.

Easy to install after removing radiator fan and shroud from the truck. Perfect fit. I had to transfer brackets from the old part, but it was pretty easy to do. Been installed 1000 miles so far. No leaks.

Fit well, quick connect is genius due to the nightmare it would be to tighten it on other wise. Some tips for removal, cut the line off at the pump and use a socket to get the old fitting out. Chances are the rack end will be seized in the rack, after much frustration I cut the line off just under the plate and worked with the seized end of the line from there. Heating the fitting with a torch just left the aluminium rack absorbing all the heat and wasn't working well, folded the end of the line over and welded multiple washers on to focus all the heat into the line its self. Broke the washers off and hammered a torx bit into the end of the line and it twisted right out. That was the only technique that had any luck after many hours of frustration, hopefully your's comes apart a little easier :)

This did the job and after replacing the old hose, and I didn't have any trouble with leaks after installing it. Be aware that taking the old hose off is extremely challenging on one end with the threaded fitting that seemed to have galled in place if you have had your truck for a while. I recommend cutting the old hose off right at the fitting. (I used some dyke pliers and just kept cutting a little bit at a time and then moving the line back and forth like breaking a coat hanger until it broke.) After that, I used a DEEP six sided 3/4" socket to remove the old fitting (it is a little larger than the fitting head which was an 11/16", but there was some metal that was still on the fitting which I had to fit the socket around). I tried using a small adjustable wrench at first so I could get that fitting out, but it never budged and all I ended up doing was almost stripping the head of the fitting until it was almost completely rounded off - so cutting and using the hex socket is really what I recommend. After that, use the steering fluid on the threads and dip all the o-rings you get in the fluid before putting them on to make sure they seal well. Getting the new line on where the fitting screws in at same place can be quite challenging but is not the fault of the line itself, it is just the way the parallel threads are made and you have to get it started with your hand. After the new fitting bites a little, I had to use the socket extension and a hammer to slightly tap the fitting so it would fully start to bite and start to thread correctly. If you have been using your truck for a while, just cutting and getting the old line out at the threaded fitting is really what is going to suck up most of your time.Good luck to you when you replace this line because it took me about 4 hours in all to just remove the old line. The Ford engineer that came up with this fitting needs to have their head examined. They should have used a swagelok type compression tube fitting instead of that flared threaded crap.
