I have a 95 Cherokee Sport w/4.0L 4x4 automatic. The A/C cut out a couple of weeks ago and I finally looked at it today and noticed the high pressure hose burst. The break occurred in the rubber hose right after the joint betwen the stainless steel line and the rubber hose. I'm assuming the hose was just old and burst under the pressure of the A/c system. Is it possible there is a larger problem at work here? Thank you.

EDIT: Also, when repairing this can I get away with a JY replacement or should I buy new?

 

Always a gamble on certain JY stuff. We replaced our hose manifold assembly about 3 years ago due to a rubber hose pop. About $85 for the hose assembly,iirc.
