Detailed Description

Gates part number 365720 is a power steering pressure line hose assembly engineered for Ford E-150, E-250, E-350 Super Duty, Econoline, Econoline Van, Econoline Wagon, and related Club Wagon applications. It is built with a zinc single wall steel tube, anti-corrosion steel crimped sleeve, and rubber hose construction that exceeds SAE J188 specifications for pressure-line service. The OE-performance rating makes it a practical replacement for restoring steering system pressure delivery on Ford E-Series platforms, including 1997-2010 Ford E-150 Econoline, 1997-2010 Ford E-350 Econoline, and 2003-2010 Ford E-250 models.

The Gates Pressure Line Assembly line focuses on replacement steering hoses that match the routing and connection style of the original system. Part number 365720 uses a swivel O-ring Type III end on one side and a male O-ring end on the other, helping it align with the factory pump-to-rack/gear box layout found on these Ford vans.

This part cross-references Edelmann 91966 for the same application.

Common Steering Issues Addressed

• Power steering fluid leaks from a worn or damaged pressure hose
• Loss of steering assist caused by pressure-line failure
• Noise or stiffness in the steering system related to restricted fluid flow
• Corrosion at the steel line or crimped connection
• Replacement needs on Ford E-150, E-250, and E-350 steering systems

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify hose routing before removal so the replacement follows the original pump-to-rack/gear box path.
• Inspect mating O-ring surfaces and replace any damaged seals during installation.
• Confirm end sizes and connection style match the vehicle’s steering system before tightening fittings.
• Check fluid level and bleed the power steering system after installation.
• Inspect nearby brackets and lines for wear, since this assembly does not include mounting brackets, bushings, copper washers, heat sleeves, or rubber mounts.
