Hi, I have a 2003 ford focus SE Sport. A couple of days while taking a turn to park the car, all of a sudden power steering system broke down and lot of power steering fluid leaked at the driver side and made a puddle of it on the road. A mechanic told me he needs to replace power steering pressure hose all the way to rack and pinion and that is 3 to 4 hour labour and also he said it will cost
180$ to get a hose from the ford dealer!!!. However on the internet power steering hose don't seem to be that expensive (my car seem to have metalic pipe for the pressure line) unless i misunderstood something in parts. So not sure if he sounded reasonable...anybody has an idea how much such job can cost including parts?any help is highly appreciated..i am really frustrated about having to spend around 500 bucks on my car at this point thanks
