Product Details

Gates Pressure Line Assembly products are engineered as OE-style hydraulic steering replacements, and the 362660 follows that approach with application-matched hose length, end style, and tube construction. This power steering pressure line hose assembly is made for Saab 9000 models and uses male O-ring connections at both ends for a secure hydraulic seal. The hose is positioned between the pump and the rack or gear box, helping maintain proper steering assist fluid flow under pressure. This part cross-references Dayco 71867 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Power steering fluid leaks at the pressure hose
• Cracked or deteriorated hose material
• Corrosion at the steel tube or crimped sleeve
• Loss of steering assist from a damaged pressure line
• Improper fit from a worn or incorrect replacement hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and connection style before installation. Inspect mating surfaces on the pump and rack or gear box, and replace any damaged seals or worn fittings as needed. After installation, refill the system with the correct power steering fluid and bleed air from the hydraulic system according to the vehicle service procedure. Confirm there are no leaks and that steering effort is consistent across the full range of motion.

Quality Assurance

This Gates pressure line assembly is built to OE performance standards and uses hose material that exceeds SAE J188 specifications. The anti-corrosion steel sleeve and zinc steel tube construction support durability in demanding steering system service.
