Product Details

The Gates Pressure Line Assembly line focuses on replacement steering hoses and related components engineered to follow OE-style specifications. This 365615 power steering pressure line hose assembly is built for the pressure side of the steering system, where secure sealing and correct hose routing are critical to maintaining steering assist and fluid control. If you are replacing a leaking or damaged Ford Explorer power steering pressure hose, a worn Explorer Sport Trac pressure line, or a Mercury Mountaineer steering hose assembly, this part number provides a targeted replacement for the listed vehicles. This part cross-references Four Seasons (e.g., 37304, 55051) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Power steering fluid leaks from a cracked or worn pressure hose
• Loss of steering assist caused by pressure line failure
• Noise or stiffness related to restricted steering fluid flow
• Damaged hose ends or sealing surfaces at the O-ring connections
• Incorrect fitment from a mismatched steering hose assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the hose length, end styles, and port configuration before installation. Match the 11 mm male captive O-ring end and 16 mm swivel O-ring end to the vehicle’s original connections, and verify that the switch port is required for your application. Inspect mating surfaces, flush contaminated fluid if needed, and check for leaks after installation. For best results, compare the removed hose to Gates 365615 before final fitment on Ford Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac, or Mercury Mountaineer models.
