This condition will not occur until a vehicle has accumulated high mileage exceeding 80,000 miles. Not all vehicles will experience wear to the power steering hose, depending on engine vibration, which varies by vehicle use.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
The actual time to perform this repair is approximately 1.0 hour, however it may be necessary for you to leave your vehicle for the full day of your scheduled appointment to allow the dealer some flexibility in scheduling other customers.
