The return line carries low-pressure fluid from the steering gear back toward the reservoir. This completes the fluid circuit so the pump can draw the fluid again. Sunsong is a vertically integrated company that researches, develops and manufactures automotive fluid transfer hoses and lines. It aims to exceed industry quality standards rather than simply meet them.
Signs this part may need replacing: power steering fluid seeping or dripping from the return hose or its connections, a reservoir that keeps running low, whining from the pump, or steering that feels heavier than usual. Diagnose the source of the leak before replacing parts.

It is listed for the 2007-2011 Dodge Caliber, 2007-2017 Jeep Compass and 2007-2017 Jeep Patriot. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
What pressure is this return hose rated for?
Sunsong rates its return hoses for a maximum working pressure of 250 psi. They are suited to the low-pressure, high-temperature conditions on the return side of the power steering system.
What does a power steering return line do?
It carries power steering fluid at low pressure from the steering gear back toward the reservoir. This completes the fluid circuit so the pump can draw the fluid again.
How can I tell if my power steering return line is failing?
Signs include wet or dripping fluid at the hose or fittings, a reservoir level that keeps dropping, or pump whine. Confirm where the leak is coming from before replacing, because other steering parts can leak too.
Is the hose tested before it ships?
Yes. Every Sunsong return hose goes through a high-pressure quality assurance test before it leaves the factory.
