On certain vehicles, the (return) hydraulic rubber hose for the power steering unit does not have sufficient durability due to manufacturing defect. If this problem is left unattended, the internal rubber surface of the hose may break away, and at worst, the peeled rubber piece could block the hydraulic passage causing the hydraulic pressure to drop, in which case steering becomes heavier.
