Sunsong Power Steering Return Line Hose Assembly P/N:3403686
Keep power steering fluid flowing back where it belongs with the Sunsong power steering return line hose assembly, part number 3401457. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1987-1996 Ford E-150 Econoline, 1987-1996 Ford E-250 Econoline and 1987-1996 Ford E-350 Econoline, plus the Club Wagon and Super Duty models listed below. The return line carries fluid on the low-pressure side of the system back toward the reservoir, so the pump has fluid to draw from.
Sunsong is a vertically integrated manufacturer that researches, develops and builds automotive fluid transfer hoses and lines. It designs its products around what installers need.
Signs the return line may need replacing include fluid seeping from the hose or its connections, a reservoir level that keeps dropping, or a pump that whines when fluid runs low. Diagnose the source of the leak before replacing parts.
