Gates 370830 Power Steering Pressure Line Hose Assembly

Gates 370830 Pressure Line Assembly

The Gates 370830 pressure line assembly is a power steering pressure hose built for OE-style service on select Ford and Mercury applications. It routes fluid from the pump to the rack or gear box and uses a swivel O-ring Type I end on one side and a swivel O-ring end on the other for a direct-style connection.

Compatible with 1988-1989 Ford Taurus and 1988-1989 Mercury Sable, this Gates Pressure Line Assembly is built to match the demands of factory-style steering systems. The hose position is pump to rack/gear box, and the assembly includes a heat sleeve for added protection in high-temperature routing areas.

Product Details

The Gates Pressure Line Assembly line focuses on replacement steering hoses that follow OE-style routing and connection requirements. This 370830 assembly is built with a rubber hose that exceeds SAE J188 specifications, along with anti-corrosion steel and zinc-coated steel components for durability in steering-system service. The 94.375-inch length and OE Performance rating support a direct replacement approach for the listed Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 37083) for the same application.

Common Steering Problems This Part Can Address

• Power steering fluid leaks at the pressure line
• Cracked or hardened hose material from heat and age
• Steering assist loss caused by pressure-line failure
• Noise or hesitation from a restricted steering hose
• Fluid seepage at swivel O-ring connections

Installation Notes

Verify hose routing, end style, and switch-port configuration before installation. This assembly is positioned from the pump to the rack or gear box and uses swivel O-ring connections, so clean sealing surfaces and correct alignment are important for leak-free service. The included heat sleeve should be positioned to protect the hose where it passes near heat sources.

Quality Assurance

Gates builds this pressure line assembly to OE Performance standards using materials selected for steering-system durability, including anti-corrosion steel, zinc single wall steel, and a hose construction that exceeds SAE J188 specifications.
