Hey all. Recently I've been hearing this odd whirring or growling noise coming from the engine. As much as I'd like to believe that there is a beast under the hood of my '92 SC, it turns out that my high pressure power steering hose is leaking. My local shop quoted me $600 for the repair!! I've been looking around the forums and some have suggested visiting a junkyard, but I don't want to run the risk of having to deal with the same situation some where down the road. Any suggestions?

Was it $600 for the part or part+labor? Those high pressure hoses are generally expensive..

if you want I can see if my buddy can hook it up with a OEM for a discounted price. PM me and let me know.

@Gsteg, it was $600 for the part alone. @TL Driver, PM sent

The cheapest I've seen is $465 shipped at Sewell Lexus. Hopefully you can get hooked up without CA tax. That basically takes away any discount you get

@Gsteg, Yikes! That's still pretty pricey, but I appreciate the info
@TLDriver, thanks for the help as well

Any other takers?

I got in touch with Aaron at Driftmotion. Let's hope he'll be able to work his magic on this one. Thanks all for the suggestions.
