FJ80 power steering

[AlexJackFJ80]

My power steering hose has a crack in it and is leaking out a bit of fluid. Went to Toyota and they said the part is discontinued, seems to be a reccurring theme with my model.
Does anyone know a good second hand place where I can find one, before I do a sneaky fix on it?
Picture attached is where the issue is

Doesn’t matter I guess reservoir’s the same size for all 1fz, 3/8 transmission cooler hose cut to length is what most guys use.

Any properly rated hose will do. Be sure to follow the same routing to keep it away from spinning bits.
If your PS lines look like that, please check the rest of the rubber on the vehicle.

There was a company here State side that sold a kit but has gone belly up. I can't remember what he sold but could be overkill. But as mentioned in earlier posts any rubber hose for transmission purpose cut to length will work.

Joey sold kits for the 1FZ PS system. Like everything on the 3FE, it's more of a PITA to deal with, but is doable. Just don't let the soft lines coming off the steering box get cut by the alternator. BTDT.

I just got a foot or two of 3/8” hose from Napa and cut it to the length that I needed. Doesn’t get much easier

That's what AutoZone, Napa, etc will ask when you just need generic fuel, coolant, or oil hoses. Like bruh I just need some hose, step away from the computer and look behind you.

FWIW one other option is to look for a GATES or other power steering FORMED hoses that are similar to the original hose by spending some time searching through images for various models/engines (non-Toyota also) until you find one that looks close in shape and length. Probably won't find a hose that is exactly the same but all you need is a curve or bend in a critical area that's enough to clear another component and where it won't kink when installed.

probably a good time to replace the whole paper clip , low and high pressure lines as well.
