I need a mechanic- 04 Nissan Quest Power Steering hose 3.5

Post by kokopelli » Sun Sep 15, 2013 9:04 pm

item number 3,445,698 of 'known' garbage parts on the Nissan is the high pressure power steering hose.

The wife's minivan started marking its spot on the garage floor; I could tell it was PS fluid. What began as a drop or two turn into full blown hemorrhaging, leaving a puddle now. I've kept it topped up until I could take a look at it. A quick web search shows once again, another well known Nissan problem with the hose bursting; it seems to be a problem across the entire 3.5 v6 lineup...
So I bought the replacement hose- was going to install it today while I worked on it- replacing rear shocks, front struts and O2 sensors- 4 of those! I soon realized there's no way i can do this job floundering around on the garage floor.

I need a freelance Mo'chanic to put this hose in for me. I'm in Middletown and will bring it to whoever in the metro area...Who's up for this, or has a recommendation?

Luke's auto on Poplar Level rd is a legit shop owned by a mechanic who started his own business and has been growing ever since. Works on all cars but specializes in Land Rovers and Euro cars so he stays busy. Give them a call and just tell them Jack sent you. Best thing with them is that they don't up sale anything and only fix what you want and give honest feedback of what might be wrong.

Yeah I'm hoping to find someone here that works jobs on the side to do it and not a shop.

Joe loves side work! Text me for his number. But no funny business, he's mine, no matter how delicious you think he looks.

I keep pretty busy between work and side jobs like this. I'd like to come take a look though and see what we're working with before I commit.
