Detailed Description

Gates 365468 is a power steering return line hose assembly intended to replace a worn, leaking, or damaged return hose in the steering circuit.

What It Helps Fix

• Steering fluid loss related to a damaged return line assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose length, end style, and diameter before installation. Match the 16 mm male O-ring fitting and the 3/8-inch I.D. hose connection to the original routing and connection points on the vehicle. Inspect mating surfaces, hose clamps, and adjacent steering components for wear or contamination before completing the repair.
