The power steering hose gave out, so I had it replaced but since then it has busted two more times, it's always right when I start the car all I hear is a pop and all the fluid goes on the floor.

Hi,

That isn't good. I assume it is the high-pressure hose that is the one failing. If that isn't correct, let me know.

As far as the problem, for the hose to continue failing, either we have a faulty part or there is a restriction in the system. What I recommend doing it to check the pressure being produced. It should be between 50 psi and 80 psi. If it is higher, there must be a restriction.

If you look below, I attached the directions for testing. Take a look through them and let me know if you are comfortable performing them.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
