I have a leaky power steering pipe and need a little advise. Replacing it isn't a issue but trying to decide if a "aftermarket" part or a "Mopar" part. I can get from Chch for $257 or a "Mopar" one for $336 from Armstrong in Wgtn overnight.

Heard bad things about some of the aftermarket jobs, cross threading, not fitting etc

I could get one from the states for cheaper I guess, but have never imported anything before. Not sure who or where or which brand I should be going for. Also, it needs replacing before I need to buy another bottle of gold plated fluid @ $70 a pop

I leaning toward just getting it from Armstrong Jeep unless wiser heads tell me not to.

where is it leaking have you tried taking it to pirtek or enzed to see if they can crimp a new end or something on it for around 50 bucks

Yeah I'd vote Pirtek. $190 replaced my top power steering hose on my safari on a call out.

"Apparently" It just a worn "o" ring at the join but the utube advice I have seen warns against trying to repair it.

Another 10c part that wears out and requires you to purchase the $300 replacement. I just finished replacing both 10c parts in the door winders at a cost of $250.

mmm to votes for Pirtek....

Just talked to the Pirtek guy in Tawa who said he will repair it cheep cheep, no worries.

ebay is our friend .for things like that

If I need original Mopar parts and can't find them anywhere cheaper, I try with:

They are good dealers out of US. Got many things from them, never had a problem so far.
