This line works on the low-pressure return side of the power steering system. It carries fluid from the steering gear to the cooler on its way back through the circuit.
- Pressure rating: Sunsong return hoses exceed original equipment performance standards. They carry a 250 psi maximum working pressure and are suited to low-pressure, high-temperature operation.
- Precision-engineered assembly: Return assemblies are engineered for an exact fit. They include the additional components required to bring the wearable parts back to original condition.
- Corrosion-resistant tubing: The tubing resists rust and corrosion from high humidity, road salt, water and grime.
- Pressure-tested: Every return hose goes through a high-pressure quality assurance test before it leaves the factory.
Sunsong is a vertically integrated manufacturer that researches, develops and builds automotive fluid transfer hoses and lines. It designs its products for exact form, fit and function.
Signs this line may need replacing include power steering fluid leaks or wet residue along the hose, a dropping reservoir level, or pump whine caused by low fluid. Find the source of any leak before you replace parts.
