95 LS with leaky Power Steering system. Got a good pump/rack from a San Diego junkyard, and ready to replace. Looking for any suggestions on additional parts (hoses, bolts, fittings, kits, etc.) to get before embarking on service. Thanks.

replace the high pressure hose (just have one made at your local hydraulic hose line) while you're at it as it's going to leak eventually.

Pure, you meant the very irregular shape (lots of bends) line that runs from pump reservoir to the rack's valve assembly? (# 44410 on Sewell's illustration http://lexus.sewellparts.com/oem-cat...S400-1995.html? Pricey parts. And this is a part that a hydraulic shop can fabricate cheaper? Thanks?

yes and yes.

just take them the old line and they'll whip you up a new one.

I bought mine from carsteering.com for $139...

you can get it made for ~$60-70

the SC guys do it all the time.

Thanks, I will have the car serviced in the Valley (Northridge, CA) so should have no problem finding a shop to fabricate.

Pure, you were right about high pressure hose, that was the source of leak. Rack was fine but I got it rebuilt anyway. Thanks.
