Product Details

The Edelmann Power Steering End Fitting 39860 is engineered for accurate installation in steering systems that use a return line end fitting. The hose routing is shaped to follow the original path closely, helping the line sit correctly in the allotted space and reducing installation issues caused by improper bends or alignment. This part is used in conventional and hydroboost steering configurations listed below, including Mercury Monarch applications with control valve to filter, control valve to cooler, and control valve to pump routing, as well as Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar fitments. This part cross-references Four Seasons 35011 for the same application.

Match the listed position and routing notes to the original hose path for correct fitment. Confirm the part number 39860 against the existing line before installation.
