Detailed Description

Edelmann 80143 is a power steering pressure line hose assembly engineered for direct replacement service on 1987-1989 Ford Mustang, 1988 Ford Cougar, 1988 Ford Thunderbird, and 1988 Mercury Cougar. The hose is formed to duplicate the original routing, helping the line sit correctly and connect as intended within the steering system layout. Its construction is intended to withstand the pressure changes and heat commonly found in power steering operation while helping reduce the risk of early hose failure and fluid contamination.

This part cross-references FEL-PRO 35890 and Gates 358900 for the same application.

Common Steering Problems It May Address

• Power steering fluid leaks from a worn or damaged pressure hose
• Hard steering caused by pressure loss in the steering circuit
• Noise from a hose that has deteriorated under heat and pressure
• Routing issues after replacing a failed original line
• Contamination concerns from a hose that has begun to break down internally

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle application before installation, especially on 1987-1989 Ford Mustang and 1988 Ford Cougar or Thunderbird models. Confirm the hose routing matches the original line and inspect related steering components, fittings, and seals for wear before completing the repair. Proper routing and secure connection points are important for maintaining steering system performance.
