Power Steering Pump Groan
 

So my power steering pump started groaning at low speeds tonight and upon further inspection I found that my return hose is dry rotted at both ends. I'm hoping it started groaning because air got in the system and if I bleed the system and replace the hose it should be fixed.

My question is, does anyone know where to buy the return hose? Online mazda parts has it for $65 and there's no way I'm paying that for a damn hose.

The top hose in the picture is the one I need to replace.

I checked there, the hose is $65 there

that it off and go to autozone and fine a hose that will work

I'll try that, hopefully they've got something there

It's just a return so no pressure. Just buy some silicon hose from parts store. Keep an eye on whatever you get for a few weeks and make sure the ps fluid isn't eating the hose from the inside out.
