Default Rack and Pinion hydraulic lines

1998 with the FE2 suspension option.

I have a leaking line on the rack and pinion. I was hoping to just replace the line instead of pulling the whole steering unit out. I can't seem to find any part numbers for just the hard lines that go across the rack and pinion. Not the lines that go to the power steering pump. Am I outta luck and will just have to replace the whole unit?

If I had the fitting sizes for those I could probably just make my own lines. Maybe I am just not searching on the right terms/words.

Thanks,
Dan

those lines arent available separately

you would either have to get a whole new unit or take the old line off and go to a parts store to match the size and correct fittings and bend a new one.

We have hard lines for the F-body rack. They are $100 per line.

Thanks,
Junior

Just talked to Rich at Rackdoctor. He is going to send me some used lines he has in his discard pile.

Thanks for the reply Junior. I was typing a response as you wrote this I think. I will give you a call and discuss.
