Detailed Description

This power steering return line hose assembly is engineered to duplicate the original hose trajectory, helping it fit the allotted space without unnecessary routing changes. The hose is designed for the steering system’s return side, where heat and fluid movement can contribute to premature hose breakdown and contamination if the line is not built correctly. Fits 2008-2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty, from gear. Fits 2008-2010 Ford F-350 Super Duty, from gear. Fits 2008-2009 Ford F-450 Super Duty, from gear. Fits 2008-2009 Ford F-550 Super Duty, from gear. This part cross-references Gates (e.g., 352803) for the same application. The Edelmann 81172 is a practical replacement for Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty steering service where OE-style routing matters.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a leaking or deteriorated power steering return hose.
• Restoring proper fluid return flow in the steering system.
• Addressing hose damage caused by heat, age, or pressure pulsation.
• Correcting routing issues from a worn or improperly formed line.

Installation Notes and Tips
