[5th Gen : 08+]: Rack and Pinion Lines
Both my Power steering rack hard lines need to be replaced because they are leaking. I removed the fitting from the rack to see if i could make my own lines, but there is an o-ring and a flare, I only have a double, and bubble flare kit. Can these lines be bought brand new? or will i have to buy an entire rack and pinion assembly? Has anyone delt with this and what was the solution? Thanks for reading
ps, just called Dodge, they only had one line and it was $120 canadian and the other line is on back order until july.

I have the same problem with my 011 grand caravan. Why Chrysler would change from the standard flare to a flange & O-ring setup on these steel lines and then not make them individually available without buying a complete new rack and pinion is just beyond me. Years ago Chevy did this with their brake line bubble flare but Auto parts stores carried a conversion fitting to adapt to standard flare. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution to this Dodge situation.
