Edelmann 92978 Power Steering Return Line Hose Assembly - Gear To Cooler

Power Steering Return Line Hose Assembly

The Edelmann 92978 is a power steering return line hose assembly built for direct replacement use in steering systems that route fluid from the gear to the cooler. It is shaped to follow OE routing and fit the available space with minimal adjustment.

Fits 2010-2012 Ram 2500, gear to cooler, and fits 2010-2012 Ram 3500, gear to cooler, with additional coverage for 2011 Ram 4000, gear to cooler. This part cross-references Four Seasons 55620 and Gates 38052 for the same application.

Key Features

• OE-style routing helps the hose follow the original path for a precise installation.
• Built to handle steering-system heat and pressure pulsations.
• Constructed with materials selected to resist premature breakdown and fluid contamination.
• 41.25-inch hose length for the specified application.
• Easy installation rating for straightforward service work.

Detailed Description

Edelmann Return Line Assembly 92978 is engineered as a replacement power steering hose for gear-to-cooler routing. The hose is manufactured to match OE specifications, with bends formed to duplicate the original hose trajectory and support a clean fit in the allotted space. For Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 applications, this routing detail matters because the hose must clear surrounding components while maintaining proper fluid transfer.

The Return Line Assembly product line focuses on accurate hose construction for steering service, using quality materials and safety-related design features to reduce the risk of early failure. Part number 92978 is intended for systems exposed to heat and pressure cycling, making it a practical choice for Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and Ram 4000 steering repairs where the return line needs to be replaced with an OE-style part.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a leaking or deteriorated power steering return hose.
• Restoring fluid flow between the steering gear and cooler.
• Addressing hose damage from heat, age, or pressure pulsation.
• Correcting routing issues caused by a worn or misshaped line.
• Servicing steering systems on Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks with the listed configuration.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering layout before ordering, especially hydroboost-equipped applications and models with dual return tubes on the reservoir. Confirm the gear-to-cooler routing and compare the existing hose path to the OE-style bends on part 92978 before installation.

Quality Assurance

Edelmann designs this hose assembly to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for fit and durability. The construction is focused on resisting heat, pressure pulsation, and fluid contamination in steering service.
