Message	I do not have data to support but silicone hoses I have seen would not be suitable for high pressure such as power steering. I would imagine the extreme pressure would cause them to balloon a bit and difficult to clamp down tight enough. _______________________________________________________________________________________ [Sigh] Z SOLD 02.17.2007
