Uh oh, scarecity of parts for the over twenty year old Corolla is rearing its ugly head. Looking at where the spooge is, I’m pretty sure the power steering lines need replacing. Unfortunately the main pressure lines are discontinued at Toyota parts. Started calling around, Napa found listed, but when I picked up & took home the part, it’s not even close to what I needed. So I have two options, I might be able to take the old lines to a hydraulic shop and see if they can fabricate lines, or I can attempt to convert to manual steering.
At least the throttle cable I needed was in stock at Toyota.
You know, I don’t especially consider this car “old school” but at 20+ years this is inevitable. And it not being a big “classic” car, there isn’t a big inventory of reproduction parts.
Oh, and I took some 3M rubbing compound to the headlight and hood and it’s quite amazing!
Take the old hoses to “Hose Service” and they can replace the tubing and reuse the end fittings. Maybe you can even get some weird blue or orange silicone cased hose…
