I have a 92 prelude with a leaking power steering hard line. The part from honda is discontinued. Where can I get it from?

It is number 13 in the diagram.

junk yards in my area have them, but theyre rotted

Have you tried the on line sites. Like parts for cheep or honda parts.

integra_101

yea

preludeNApower

Bend up some new line.

integra_101

Thats my last resort. lots of work.

I was thinking just some regular hose and cover it in a braided line.

integra_101

the line is leaking bad. and im losing about an inch every day from my PS reservoir. for now, how do I stop the power steering system from working? just take off the belt? will that cause any damage?

Ps car with no ps is poop under 20 miles per hour, unless you have popey arms lol

integra_101

ive driven without ps for a few days. wasnt bad at all. just parking in a tight garage was fucked lmao.

Sparksman

I bought my 4th gen with a single pully installed, I dont know what PS is like on the ludes haha. Other then parking spots its not bad, actually you have a better feel for what the tires are doing when you dont. Both keeping and deleting have pro's and cons.

integra_101

So do I just remove the PS belt to stop the fluid from flowing? until I fix it. but I might delete it soon.

Sparksman

ya you can remove the belt and drain the fluid if you want so it stops leaking. It wont hurt anything and even give you maybe 5hp more lol.

integra_101

How would it give me more hp? because the crank has one less pulley to turn?

Sparksman

I suppose the way I formed that statement was wrong. Yes, less weight on the rotating assembly. I should have said it free's up the HP you already have, because it does not actually increase overall power.

Not on this site to sell parts, but I am in the middle of a complete removal on my 96 si. Looping the rack and pinion. I do not know if they are identical but I will have no use for it any more. PM me if interested.

Is the line cracked ? I'm kinda curious. Your best bet is the junkyard. If you're not near one, you could probably get someone in the honda marketplace section to sell you one after they pull it.

integra_101

its rotted. I dont know exactly where the leak is. but its coming from somewhere on that line

z71rider

JB weld the line? just a thought.

gzes

No ps ain't bad. If you think it's hard your a punanny lol. But yea just pop off belt and drive. I pulled ps from my sol and looped the lines. It's been fine. Hell I had to drive a big Tahoe no ps now that's a little hard. Have you tried hondapartscheap?

integra_101

Loop the lines on the speed sensor?

gzes

On the rack there 2 lines . One that comes out and one that comes in. Loop them and your good. Some people put a breather but not needed

integra_101

Id also need to loop the lines on the speed sensor though.

z71rider

yeh, you can loop the lines on the vss with no problem. but make sure its got some fluid in there.

crazes

very important to make sure you have the stuff looped around. Otherwise your going to cause a bigger problem for yourself.

I use JDMexchange.com it will redirect you too Elite Upgrades, might try there if you haven't

integra_101

I think im just going to make a new line. I dont want to delete my ps. I enjoy it lol.
