Have one of the lines rusted in two where it comes of middle ways of the rack and pinion. It is one of the lines you get when you buy the rack and pinion steering rack. Does anybody know where you can get these or have one made?

Looks like all the pipes & hoses should be available as spare parts from dealers. I don't know if it would be cheaper to have a shop "make it up". Call around.

Default None of those is it Jim

here is the pipe #22 it comes on the steering unit when you buy it new thus.............no junk yard wants to sell the lines they want to sell the whole unit ....can't blame them but why doesn't somebody make them....found one place and it was $50 for one line and $75 for the other line. You can buy the unit for between $100 and $150 just wondering what everybody else was doing. See pipe in diagram..........thanks........BiLL

I never had to replace those on my 95 accord. The list price is what you will pay at the dealership. The discount price is what you will pay, but a shipping and handling fee will be charged. Sometimes it is cheaper to get the parts from the dealership.

Yeah, Majestic has the same picture if you choose "PS gearbox components", so it seems to be available by itself.

If you can get close to the right length and then bend it into shape, that sounds like a good solution.
