Edelmann 81353 Power Steering Return Hose

Bulk Power Steering Hose Overview

Edelmann 81353 is a bulk power steering return hose for building or replacing return-line sections where a cut-to-length hose is needed. It is engineered to match OE routing and withstand steering-system heat and pressure pulsations for a precise, durable repair.

Compatible with a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep applications, including Chrysler PT Cruiser, Dodge Dakota, and Jeep Wrangler fitments. The 25-foot bulk length gives technicians flexibility for return-line repairs across multiple routing styles and reservoir configurations.

Key Features

• Bulk 25-foot hose for cut-to-length power steering return line service
• Built to OE specifications for accurate routing and fit
• Designed to handle steering-system heat and pressure pulsations
• Constructed with quality materials to help resist premature failure
• Suitable for multiple return-line paths, including cooler and reservoir routing

Detailed Application Notes

Part number 81353 covers a broad range of return hose applications across Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep platforms. It is listed for many configurations, including gear to cooler, cooler to reservoir, gear to pump, and hydroboost return routing, making it a practical choice when the original hose path must be duplicated in a custom-length repair. This part cross-references Gates 349960 and TYC 30196 for the same application.

For Chrysler PT Cruiser, Dodge Dakota, and Jeep Wrangler service, the hose is used in multiple return-line positions and notes specify cut-to-length or bulk hose use depending on the vehicle. The Edelmann 81353 design focuses on following OE hose trajectory so the finished line fits the allotted space without unnecessary rework.

What This Hose Helps Address

• Cracked or deteriorated power steering return hose sections
• Leaks at aged return-line routing points
• Heat-related hose breakdown in steering systems
• Contamination risks from failing hose material
• Repair needs where a preformed hose is not the correct length

Installation Notes and Tips

Measure the original hose path before cutting and confirm the routing style, cooler presence, and reservoir configuration listed for the vehicle. Because this is a bulk hose, proper length selection and clean routing are important for a secure repair. Verify the application notes for the exact year, make, model, and return-line path before installation.

Quality Assurance

Edelmann designs this hose to meet or exceed OE specifications and to duplicate original routing for a precise installation. The hose is manufactured with materials intended to resist heat, pressure pulsations, and premature breakdown in power steering service.
