Hello everyone. I have a 2003 3.5 santa fe that I'm working on, recently had it in a shop to have the p/s fluid flushed and was diagnosed with a leaking pressure hose, along with a very high quote to replace.

When looking at part shops for a diy and purchased a two piece (upper & lower?) pressure line. Once I crawled under the car though, I realized it looks like all one piece from pump to rack

dry assembled the line and noticed that I can only get a few threads on before its tight, which dosen't seem right.

My question is, does this line need to be all one piece? is this something thats only OEM? Multiple parts places all have two piece lines.

Thanks for the help, i'll post photos tomorrow if needed

 

Here's some pictures of the replacement line. First one is where the two lines connect where I'm having a hard time believing this is how its supposed to look. Second picture is an overview of the replacement, note the crimped connection on the left.. This is what the orginal line on the vehicle looks like where the replacement screws on.


The replacement is a masterpro from Oriellys. Ordered similar part from Napa that I'll be picking up today to see if its similar to the one I arleady have in my possesion.

 

If it does not look right and does not look like it can work I would be scared to use it. I have attached a diagram for you to look at that is supposed to be for the 2.7L and 3.5L motor. The part number for the pressure line is 57510-26510 (available here: TUBE & HOSE ASSEMBLY - PRESSSURE made by Hyundai. #5751026510) and can be viewed in the diagram with the highlighted number 57500. Let me know if I can help you with anything.
