High pressure power steering hose failure

So my power steering high pressure hose was leaking. https://www.carid.com/genuine/power-...03&url=1229537
Looks exactly like this for the E500 and CLS500; no vendors listed either "55" as for this item. The $290 was the one of the cheaper ones but they went as high as $400. Buy that from your indie with a 20% markup and your looking at $500. I took mine to the local hydraulic shop and asked them to replicate this identically. They did and it fit fine. My cost as $66 bucks. Let the shop know that the orientation is uber important and so is the exact lengths of each of the three rubber hoses. Just a FYI for those that might need it.
