Power steering high pressure hose rebuild

[Konstantin Bogach]

I am running more than a year on both SP to rack and  SP to bomb rebuilt by
Aeroequip dealer with no problem.  The guy did the same length hoses and
placed restrictor in close to correct position.  But this should be
requested and importance be stressed  before they start to work on it.
