Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because the proper repair for worn or damaged power steering hoses is to replace them entirely. Repairing power steering hoses by cutting and using tubing with hose clamps, as Technician A suggests, is not a recommended practice due to the high pressure in power steering systems, which can lead to failure and safety issues.
