PS pressure hose

[Konstantin Bogach]

My hose is a rebuilt one by Aeroequip.  They swear that the position of restrictor is
same.  I thought it is hose problem. But another lister (sorry, I don't remember name
and the post is in my work mail )  reported the same situation as mine but OEM hose:
"new" rebuilt rack from Jorgen+new hose. It also groans.  Go figure.
I chilled down about replacing the hose for OEM one.  Will live with it for a while.
It was reported in the same post that the groan gets quieter with time (afte getting
used to it :).
