in the top left of the engine bay, is this a cheap part has anyone had to replace it. the part hooks into a monitoring port and then goes to a hose that hooks into the engine down low.

 

yeah i have dont it and its not hard, it cost around $40 for the hose. You have to take the front right tire off and then remove the sheilding and you should see the steering pump and the pressure hose attached to it. Just to let you know it is a hard fit and it is hard to get the lower bolt loose. But is easy to do, but requires some time.
