PS Hose Kit C2/C3 Vette Rack & Pinion

The PS Hose Kit C2/C3 Vette Rack & Pinion by Detroit Speed Engineering is a purpose-built power steering solution for classic Corvette owners upgrading to modern rack and pinion steering geometry. This kit exists to bridge the gap between modern steering components and original fuel system routing, eliminating the need for costly custom fabrication or compromise on steering responsiveness. Whether you're retrofitting a C2 or C3 Corvette with contemporary handling upgrades or restoring a vehicle with modern mechanical improvements, this hose assembly ensures proper pressure and return line integration without interference or kinking.

Detroit Speed Engineering engineered these hoses with precise routing and length to accommodate the transition from classic engine bay packaging to rack and pinion hydraulic circuits. The assembly includes both high-pressure supply and low-pressure return lines, each sized and positioned to maintain optimal flow rates while avoiding contact with hot exhaust components, suspension links, and fuel system elements. Quality construction and proper hose routing prevent pressure loss, reduce noise transmission through the chassis, and extend the service life of your power steering pump and steering gear—critical factors when integrating modern steering into vintage Corvette architecture.

This kit is ideal for C2 (1963–1967) and C3 (1968–1982) Corvette builders pursuing responsive, modern steering without engine bay congestion. Installation pairs seamlessly with Detroit Speed's rack and pinion conversion kits, eliminating fitment guesswork and ensuring that every steering input translates directly to wheel movement. Proper hose routing also simplifies future maintenance—no need to redesign plumbing during brake system or fuel system service. If you're serious about Corvette handling upgrades, this engineering-validated hose assembly is a non-negotiable component that separates professional restorations from improvised modifications.
