PS Pressure hose
 

Does it matter which PS pressure hose I use with my LSL vehicle speed sensitive steering? On Subaruparts.com, there are 2 different PS pressure hoses (from rack to passenger side of resevoir...also called the return line). One is a single piece hose featured in the main diagram. It is $85 and I already have it. There is also a 2 piece line consisting of 1/2 hard line, and 1/2 hose line. The hard line half is $54, and the hose line half is $95. The both cover the same portion of the PS fluid circuit, they both attach correctly and are formed to take virtually the same route.

Needless to say, I'd like to use the one piece one that I already have. Any reason I wouldn't be able to?

Thanks.

Mat-

I'm not sure why they use two different designs, but knowing subaru, there is probably some reason. If it were me, I would hook up your line and check for function. If it works well, then you're good to go.

I bet it is based on production date. They probably switched to the one piece because it was cheaper.

That was my guess also.

Or more expensive. :rolleyes: :)
