WTB Power m42 power steering hoses

I just took out the power steering resevoir and the 3 lines with it, most of which is shot. Looking to buy a used resevoir, resevoir to pump line, pump to rack, and rack to resevoir return line which all work properly. This is going into an e30 318is with an m42 engine, so it must be compatible. Not sure is the e36 m42 power steering stuff will work, if you know let me know. Thanks in advance

You can fix the low pressure lines with new clamps. There is a DIY online for it. The high pressure line from the pump to rack is expensive. Only available through BMW at $150+. If you did not have an extremely large leak your old line is probably still ok.

Oh, also don't try to use a high pressure line from a parts store like Autozone. The line they sell is not correct. E30 m42 high pressure lines are unique and others won't work

Okay awesome man, thanks for the advice! I'll inspect the pump to rack hose it should probably be fine. The worst leaks came from the low pressure lines so your right, should just need some new clamps then
