Replace it.
Have brakes, front suspension and steering inspected now.
I don't know mutch about a Lexus but the rubber hose is should be the return line. the pressurized line should be metal or steal bradedAnswerhose that connects directly to reservoir, is the retrun hose the pressure hose goes from pump to steering
Oil lines to the suspension should be for the power steering system.
Please be more specific with your question-front, rear, right, left, steering, ride, what????
the driveshafts come out of any vehicle, because they're spline fitment, they should be held in by the suspension/steering components though
Steering knuckle vertical clearance should be adjusted by ensuring that the knuckle is properly aligned with the suspension components and that any shims or spacers are correctly installed to achieve the desired clearance. It's important to check for wear in bushings or bearings that may affect clearance, as well as to verify that the suspension is at its normal ride height during adjustment. Additionally, consult the vehicle manufacturer's specifications for precise measurements and tolerances. Proper adjustment helps ensure optimal steering performance and tire wear.
I would suspect wheel balance is the problem but the steering and suspension system such as tie rod ends, pitman arm, idler arm, steering box, ball joints and control arm bushings if applicable should be checked also.

If you drop a piece of rubber in liquid nitrogen, (in a dewar, where the liquid nitrogen does not boil that fast), then the rubber will be frozen. In that sense, the rubber will get hard and brittle. If by 'freeze' you mean the formal definition, which is to form actual crystals, as water does when it freezes, then the rubber won't freeze. You should know that when you drop the rubber into the liquid, the liquid will boil off very quickly for a while even though it's in a dewar. That's because heat will flow straight from the rubber into the liquid.
Do you have to? No. Should you? Absolutely, if you want to keep your tires and other steering and suspension components in good working order.
The problem with this concern could easily be the steering gear. The power steering pump is responsible for providing fluid pressure but the steering gear will provide steering assist with the fluid pressure depending on steering wheel input. with the front wheels suspended and the engine off with the pittman arm disconnected from the steering gear the wheels turned left to right by hand at the tires should turn with the same effort both ways. if not, the concern is within the suspension (ball joints) or steering someplace. If the steering effort is the same suspect a steering gear fault.
your wheels don't turn unless you press the gas pedal????!!!!i've never heard of that before!!!you should first check your steering system and front suspension
