Can I get a Power Steering Hose from an Altima?

Hey guys,

I've got a 5th Gen Maxima that needs a new power steering hose. From lurking the forums, it seems like this is pretty common around 120,000 miles. It doesn't sound too tricky, so I'm going to give it a shot myself. I've got a 2004 Altima by coincidence that's about to get scrapped -- does anyone know where I could find out if the parts are interchangeable? Or how likely/unlikely that is? Just seeing if I can save some money here by using the Altima hose.

Easiest way to tell is to pull each and compare them side by side.

Otherwise OEM only unless you want an annoying buzz.

Rockauto shows diff part numbers for the power steering hose between those 2 cars so im gonna say no.

They are very similar. I did them both on the Altima and Maxima. I think that the sensor maybe different and I am not sure about the length, but they are close looking.


I know that's not very much help, but I would guess no they are not too.
