How many of Zroners out there have had to replace their power steering pressure hose?

 

[Tyler Townsley]

Replaced mine at about 110,000 miles.

ADDED:It was leaking, I do not remember much about it other than it was a pain and it was about 70,000 mi ago.

...on G.P. or because of a failure?

I thought my hose my have went but as it turns out it was the pump. I just picked up 2 new GM hoses that are discontinued so now I have spares GM part #26025628. I also scored on a new GM pump through Tom Henry Chevrolet. Hoses I got through Vintage Parts LLC, you need part #'s to order from them.

Hib, although I have a LT1, I recall (bad word!!) the 1993 zr's had a problem with a powersteering hose overheating and bursting ... the recall included a redesigned hose.

The '93 LT's had the same problem but it was recified (according to recall notice) by using a tie-strap to get the hose away from the heat source.

I believe it was redesigned in 91 or 92 to get address the groaning noise at low speeds.
