As we entered a deep freeze here in the great white north, my power steering started leaking like a stuck pig. Being so cold out I just took it to a mechanic. They quoted me a lot of money for the job, and blamed it on a pressure hose with a switch on it costing a lot of money. I dug around into this a bit, and my FSM for my Jeep has no diagram or part numbers for the power steering, however I managed to find a parts manual for a 2005. I believe the part they are talking about is 52128940AB, which appears to be pretty costly. The only thing is most websites list this as a 2004-2005 part, and I cannot find a 2006 parts manual.

Can anyone confirm a costly power steering hose (PN 52128940AB) is part of the 2006 system? And also, why can I not seem to find a 2006 parts manual...

A 3.7 Kj's power steering pressure line is about $100 at CarQuest if you buy it,expect a similar hose at a shop to run $150-$200.Yes they will mark it up and sometimes 100%,it's how the game is played and nothing you can do but do your own work.It also calls for 1.5 labor hours to change said hose.
