you have air in the line. take your power steering cap off then turn the car on and turn the steering wheel. hopefully the air will come out.

I would also reccomend putting Lucas PS fluid in there, it actually works.....no joke. Its more expensive but it works miracles..

That thing looks clean man! I have always been a suckker for clean white SC's. Coilovers and TT chrome wheels and that thing would be SMOKIN!

If you need a new hose. I think a stainless steel one is much better (and cheaper) then oem. I bought one for my sc3 from www.driftmotion.com

Is this the replacement part for the high pressure hose that leaks and causes the alternator to go out also. If so I will order one as soon as I get your reply. I have replaced mine 2 times and it is leaking again.

Webster, what's up dude?!?!
Make sure to get all the air out of your system. It happened to me on my S14 when I replaced them.

Btw, where in texas are you at bro?


edit: I guess Bryan already suggested the air thangggg. I'm dumb ):
