This is the second XJ I have had to replace one on. And they always end up getting a small pin hole in them. The one I have now is spraying all over my brake system so I was pretty scared when I saw the puddle. The crazy thing is that there is no way the hole was caused by rubbing. Is this just my problem and do they make any HD ones.

Find a local shop that makes hydrolic hoses for big rigs and take em yours and have em build you a heavy duty one. I did that for my trany cooler lines and they are way better then stock or replacements. My steering box is leaking and when I replace it I will do that for my steering hose.

where was the hole? the PS hoses are pretty thick, and yea, def check to see if its rubbing something, they can move around a tad from the pressure. when i blew mine it was where the rubber met the metal. unless its the second one on the same XJ, i wouldnt worry about it. they do see a decent amount of pressure and get worn.
