Re: 87' 5kcstqw Leakage again from power steering hose.

Yep - they leak.
Have one made from the old ends by a commercial truck hose shop and it won't any
more...
I've replaced 'several' and the job sure SUCKS! Best solution I've heard was
Mike Arman's - not only custom made but the rack end was made to stay in place
during future replacement via an extension.
I'd make a comment about common sense engineering but the gods are PO'd enough
already at me.
