Detailed Description

This Gates Pressure Line Assembly is built for pressure-side steering service in select Mercedes-Benz ML-Class vehicles. The hose assembly is specified with male O-ring fittings at both ends and is intended for vehicles with left-hand drive and a threaded fitting at the gear. The Gates 352202 pressure line hose assembly supports the hydraulic connection between the power steering pump and steering gear on the listed ML320, ML430, ML500, ML55 AMG, and ML350 applications.

Gates positions this part as an OE Performance replacement, making it a practical choice when restoring steering system integrity on Mercedes-Benz ML500, ML320, and related ML-Class models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 40048 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Power steering fluid leaks at the pressure line
• Loss of steering assist from a damaged hose assembly
• Cracked, worn, or corroded original pressure line components
• Incorrect hose fitment on threaded gear connection applications
• Steering noise or poor steering response caused by pressure-side line issues

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a left-hand-drive Mercedes-Benz ML-Class model with a threaded fitting at the gear before ordering. Confirm both end sizes, 14 mm and 16 mm male O-ring, against the original line and inspect mating surfaces, seals, and routing points before installation. Properly bleed the power steering system after replacement and check for leaks at both connections.
