So long story short, I screwed up when I was jacking up my car, the jack slipped & busted the power steering hard line that goes into the front of the rack & pinion. Is this hard to change? can I just replace the line, & could I pick this up at Napa or Auto Zone? Also is there a specific name for this particular line?


Thanks...

Anybody???

Can I replace just the line, & would the line be the same on a Fox body rack?

In that first pic you caught a drop of fluid falling in mid air! It looks hella cool.

Anyway, I don't know Foxes that well, but you just need to figure out if that the high pressure line or low pressure line. Follow it back to the pump. If it attaches at the pump with a hose clamp on the bottom of the pump body, it's the low pressure line. If it attaches at the side of the body with a screw fitting, it's the high pressure line.

A hydraulic place can make it to the exact size

It actually looks like it doesn't even go all the way to the pump, but to another section of the rack...
