A power steering hose is a critical component in vehicle hydraulic steering systems, designed to transport pressurized hydraulic fluid between the power steering pump, steering gear/rack, and reservoir. These flexible yet durable hoses withstand continuous exposure to high pressures (typically 150-1,500 PSI) and extreme temperature fluctuations (-40°F to +300°F).
Constructed with multiple layers, most hoses feature a synthetic rubber or thermoplastic inner tube resistant to hydraulic fluid degradation, reinforcement layers (braided steel wire or textile mesh), and a weather-resistant outer cover (EPDM or CR rubber) to protect against abrasion and ozone. Two primary types exist: High-Pressure Supply Hoses and Low-Pressure Return Hoses. Proper maintenance is essential to avoid fluid leaks or complete steering failure.
