I'd just like to add that the hydraulic shop rebuild isn't always as
great as what Mike got. I wound up paying $55 for a hose with no
swivels, and I think the rebuilt hose is causing a groaning noise as the
steering moves. Wrong size restrictor? It's been like that for a couple
of months. I hate to even think of unbolting that hose again.
