Product Details

Edelmann Return Line Assembly 80618 is engineered as a replacement power steering return hose for GM trucks and SUVs that use a gear-to-cooler layout. The hose is formed to duplicate original routing so it installs cleanly in the available space and maintains the intended path through the steering system. This matters on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade, where correct hose routing helps preserve clearance and serviceability.

The Edelmann 80618 part number is associated with return-side steering service where fluid is carried back from the steering gear to the cooler or reservoir. Its construction is intended to handle the heat and pulsation common in power steering systems while supporting long-term fluid integrity.

What It Helps Fix

• Power steering fluid leaks at the return hose
• Cracked, hardened, or heat-damaged hose material
• Incorrect hose routing after prior repairs
• Steering fluid contamination from hose breakdown
• Loss of steering assist caused by a failing return line

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses a gear-to-cooler return line layout before ordering. Confirm the reservoir configuration on select 2007-2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Suburban 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500/Yukon XL 1500 models, since this assembly is listed for conventional power steering systems with one return tube on the reservoir. Match the original hose path and connection points during installation to maintain proper clearance and routing.

Quality Assurance

Edelmann designs its power steering hoses to meet or exceed OE specifications for fit and construction. The 80618 return line assembly is built to support reliable steering-system operation and to help protect against premature hose failure.
