Product Details

Edelmann Return Line Assembly 71291 is engineered as a direct-fit steering return hose for Ford Ranger and Ford Bronco II models within the listed years. The hose routing is shaped to mirror the factory path, helping the line sit correctly in the allotted space and reducing the chance of fitment issues during replacement. As part of Edelmann’s Return Line Assembly line, this hose focuses on accurate routing and durable construction for steering-system service.

This part number 71291 is intended for vehicles that need a replacement power steering return line hose assembly rather than a universal hose. It is a practical choice for restoring fluid return flow in older Ford steering systems where correct length and routing matter.

What It Helps Address

• Leaking or cracked power steering return hose
• Fluid seepage at aged hose sections
• Routing problems caused by a mismatched replacement line
• Steering fluid contamination from deteriorated hose material
• Noise or poor steering performance related to return-line wear

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, model, and return-line routing before installation. Compare the original hose path and connection points to the Edelmann 71291 assembly to confirm correct application on your Ford Ranger or Ford Bronco II. Inspect adjoining steering components and replace worn clamps, seals, or fittings as needed during service.

Quality Assurance

Edelmann designs its power steering hoses to meet or exceed OE specifications, with construction focused on accurate routing, heat resistance, and durability in steering-system use. The goal is a dependable replacement that supports proper fluid return and long-term service on the listed Ford applications.
