Reply To: 60 Mercury 430 Crank Driven Power Steering Hoses

[John L. & Geralyn Clemente]

Yes, thank you! You’ve been very helpful! I know one option is to have the old ones rebuilt. They are still on the car, but they leak. I’m safe driving the car, but I must continually check the fluid levels. Places that handle the rebuild have a ridiculous turn-around time, so I figured if I can find the hoses, that will save me time. I do know that the 430 is crank-driven, but nowhere is it shown exactly which pump it has, therefore dictating the kind of hoses I should use. I have the chance to buy NOS hoses, but I don’t want to waste money on something I can’t use and the dealer doesn’t know. Yes, I saw that show with the ’60 Lincoln! Thanks again for your input!
