Power steering pressure line hoses and return hoses can wear down over time and become corroded or develop leaks. Most high-pressure lines are metal, whereas low-pressure lines are made of rubber. Power steering hoses are exposed to high temperatures when the engine is running. The composition of power steering fluid and the pressure generated by a power steering pump can also degrade hoses over time. In addition to risking potential damage to the power steering system, a failed pressure line hose can eliminate steering assist and make any car or truck much more difficult to steer. Power steering fluid is also flammable and may ignite upon making contact with hot surfaces. Look for any signs of rust on a power steering pressure line hose and cracks or bulges in rubber hoses. If there are any indications of a leak, such as moisture on or near hoses, low fluid levels in the reservoir or a smell of burning fluid, you should replace the damaged hoses and refill the power steering fluid reservoir.
