Detailed Description

Built as a Gates Pressure Line Assembly, part number 363160 is engineered for power steering systems that require a pump-to-rack or pump-to-gear box pressure hose with male O-ring connections. The hose uses anti-corrosion steel at the crimped sleeve and zinc single wall steel for the tube section, helping support durability in a high-pressure steering circuit. Gates also rates the rubber hose construction above SAE J188 specifications, which is an important benchmark for power steering hose performance.
