if using hose, high pressure stuff is a must, plus a "bubble" type of flare is required to keep the hose from popping off.
use fuel injection hose clamps instead of the worm gear style, and don't cramp the rack to full lock, where the pressure spikes.
i went through this with a minivan once, and it was a giant pain until i got a new line from rock auto.
Not going to work on a steering system that could have over 1,000 psi.
HAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!! i sure found THAT out rather quickly !
i tried shoving a chunk of the factory "flex" part of that line over the "bubble" i made on the part of the line that wasn't rusted [because of the clamp trapping dirt and water around the line] then using three fuel injection clamps, and that lasted a couple of trips before popping off !
glad "the rock" had the line i needed in stock, and shipped it fast !
by then, i was pretty good at laying under the "bus", and shoving the hose back on and re-tightening the clamps by "feel".
