How many PSI can my power steering hose withstand?

Your power steering system is made up of many different parts, all working together to make sure you can steer your car with ease. One of the most important parts of the system is the power steering hose. This hose carries hydraulic fluid from the pump to the steering rack, and it is under a lot of pressure when you are driving. The general rule of thumb is that your power steering hose can withstand up to 1,500 PSI. However, it is always best to check with your manufacturer to be sure. If your power steering hose starts to leak, it can cause problems with your steering. You may notice that your steering feels heavier than usual or that your car is pulling to one side.
