It is designed for 2000-2011 Ford Ranger, 2000-2001 Ford F-100 Ranger, 2002-2003 Ford Explorer Sport, 2003-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 2004-2005 Ford Explorer, 2001-2010 Mazda B4000, 2001-2008 Mazda B3000, and 2001-2004 Mazda B2300. This part cross-references Continental 40298 and Gates 352457 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Return Line Assembly line emphasizes accurate hose routing and dependable material selection. By duplicating the original hose trajectory, the assembly is shaped to fit the allotted space without forcing the line into an incorrect path. That helps support long-term service in steering systems where heat and pulsation can accelerate hose breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Replacement Reasons\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaking or damp power steering return hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCracked hose material from age and heat exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestricted fluid return through the steering circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorrect routing after prior repair work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContamination caused by hose deterioration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify gear-to-cooler routing before ordering and compare the hose path to the original part. The 10.25-inch length and OE-style bends are important for proper alignment in the available space. This part is listed with an easy installation difficulty rating, making it a straightforward replacement when the existing routing matches the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdelmann designs this hose assembly to meet or exceed OE specifications and to provide protection against premature failure. The construction is intended to withstand steering-system heat and pressure pulsations while helping reduce the risk of contamination in the return circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edelmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53658092961973,"sku":"DXMP-80861","price":25.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/EP_80861_Fro.jpg?v=1793605643","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/edelmann-80861-power-steering-return-line-hose-assembly-gear-to-cooler","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
