Thanks for the responses.
Well I got a chance to look it over last night finally. It wasn't even the H/P hose either. It was a tiny steel tube that broke at the fitting along top of a long tube that stretches from side to side. I stopped at the dealer on the way into work to purchase a replacement of what looked like a simple 1/8" x 8"-10" long tube with a few bends in it only to discover the part was about $85.00!! (PN:26053450)I also noticed another tube of the same material that was disconnected from the passenger side of this long iron tube that the broken line went into. The dearler said it was a vent tube that apparently helped to equalize the pressure. It looks like it can just be pushed back into the plastic fiting that it came out of. I am wondering if an appaernt wheel misalighnment may have created all of this trouble by allowing this tube to come undone but I'm unfamiliar with this kind of Power Steering system. Would anyone know what pressure rating and size tubing this is and the fittings so I can just pick them up at a local supply instead of taking the part off tonight and then taking it back tomorrow to match the parts? I have variuous materials at the plant I work at and could gather the pices if I knew which ones were right. (Metric or American spec) I'd like to finish this tonight.
