Power Steering Hardline For Type II Pumps

The Holley Power Steering Hardline For Type II Pumps (SKU HLY198-202) is a precision-engineered pressure tube designed specifically for GM Type II power steering pump installations on LS-series engines. This component replaces the factory rubber hose with a rigid steel hardline, eliminating the flex and potential failure points that plague original equipment on high-performance builds.

Weighing just 0.65 lbs and measuring 5.1 x 3.7 x 6.5 inches, this hardline maintains OEM compatibility while providing the durability advantage of solid metal construction. Type II pump systems operate under significant pressure during steering assist, and a rigid hardline improves response consistency by reducing volume loss through hose expansion. This translates to more direct, confident steering feedback—a critical consideration for street performance vehicles, restomod builds, and LS engine swaps where factory steering geometry may not align perfectly with the new powertrain.

Buyers upgrading to LS-series platforms or rebuilding power steering systems on GM vehicles benefit from Holley's focus on fuel and cooling system components, extended into steering hard-parts. This hardline is essential for anyone replacing deteriorated rubber hoses or assembling a complete power steering system from bare components. Installation pairs with Type II pump rebuilds, custom mounting brackets, and full LS conversion packages where steering pressure routing requires factory-pattern fittings.

Each hardline ships individually, allowing builders to source multiple units for dual-pump setups or to keep a backup on hand. Verify pump type and mounting location before ordering to ensure proper fitment with your specific LS configuration and power steering system layout.
