power steering leak power brakes lost
Can anyone answer me why the power brakes would also be lost when apparently I was loosing power steering fluid. Power steering fluid has sprayed all over the driver side tire and all underneath the frame. I also lost my brakes. Haven't looked for or found the leak but my guess is it is a power steering line that wore thru on the frame. I'll be getting up close and personel with it in the A.M.. Any suggestions? Thanks.

It's called a hydroboost system...

A hydroboost uses pressure from the powersteering pump to assist the brakes instead of vacuum. |

Ahh and that makes sense now that I'm looking at the entire system. :tu:
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Got it fixed, decided to post pictures of the new line for anyone else looking. Got it from Napa looks quality but only time will tell. :pca1: Attachment 38051 Attachment 38052 |
Thanks for the post
I think I have the same problem. Losing power steering fluid. I wondered why it affected the brakes. Now I know!
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Is there a compelling reason to replace the whole line, rather than just the o-ring? |

:humm:It's been a while since I did this repair but from I recall, the "o" ring is located on a fitting that is pressed on by the factory. There was no easy way to just do the "o"ring. New hose complete was just not very expensive, so I just di the whole assembly!
