My bottom power steering hose is leaking on my 1998 SC300 (153,000 miles). Has anyone bought this product from driftmotion? Any reviews/feedback on how good a replacement it is? They list it as $65 + shipping.

i bought one, but ended up replacing it. It was usable, but it was too long.

You only need about a 14" line and this thing was about 30" long.

Just call Aaron and see if he can make you a custom length that you need. I've bought a lot of things off Aaron in the past, has always been reliable and never had any issues.

Thks for that link! I'll most likely either go DIY on doing my own repair or find a hydraulic hose repair shop here in Houston or perhaps going with the driftmotion one..... One thing for sure.....I would NEVER consider spending $500+ for a stupid PS hose.....I could buy some tools from Harbor Freight/Northern Tool for that coin.

i frequently build an fittings and i decided i just save the trouble and buy the dm one instead. i think it came out to be cheaper bc earls shipping was an arm and a leg. if you decide to build it yourself lmk i can help you since im in houston too

Best way to go is a local hydraulic hose shop. They have the highest quality fittings.

Fittings that also have o-rings to seal...that's good stuff.

I'm not sure why my DM line was so long, I contacted Aaron and I think he said something about it being for multiple applications.

Don't get me wrong, the line will work, but don't tighten the fittings down too tight or they'll strip.

The DM full length SS clutch hose is the ****....it's a great piece. I have 2 of them.

There is a guy here that used driftmotion.com PS hose and he seems to be happy about it. Although there isn't really a clear way to install it, because from what I know you need to plug some holes that the driftmotion.com PS line wouldn't need for it to work. I hope driftmotion.com make a DIY for this since they manufacture this.
