1990 LS 400 Rack and Pinion PS High Pressure Hose
Good Evening everyone,
I had a leak in the High Pressure line (Input - power steering line) on my rack and pinion for my 1990 LS-400. Thought, okay easy fix, took the line off, one end was stubborn, so we ended up cutting it and using a "easy out nut remover" so the line is now cut. Went to find a replacement hose and found it's not serviceable, seems I have to buy the entire Rack and Pinion just to get the high pressure line. We that's $300.00 for the rack, does anyone know anyplace that may be able to just sell the High Pressure line for the Rack and Pinion? How dangerous is it to drive with the line removed?
Thanks for any responses.

do not drive the car unless you want to burn out the bump and the rack for lack of lubrication.
any hydraulic hose place can rebuild your high pressure hose if you take them the original line and (undamaged) fittings.
oem cost for the price in ~$250-350 iirc, with aftermarket 3rd party suppliers coming in about 60% of that.

Are you talking OEM price for a complete Rack, or just the high pressure hose that is part of the rack?
Why would they make the high pressure hose removable and not make it serviceable? Just doesn't make any sense to me.

If you look at this rack, there are two high pressure lines, an input and a return line. I need the input high pressure line
