Key Features

• Direct-fit replacement hose with clamps
• OE-quality braided rubber construction

Product Details

Rein PSH0496 is engineered as a power steering return hose that handles hot steering fluid on the inside and the demanding underhood environment on the outside. The hose is formed to OE blueprint standards and uses non-damaging, burr-free clamps and related protective components where the application calls for them. For Nissan TITAN, Nissan Armada, and INFINITI QX56 service, this return hose supports a proper pipe-to-pipe connection without requiring custom modification.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Power steering fluid seepage from an aged return hose
• Cracking or hardening of the original rubber line
• Noise or poor steering feel caused by a leaking return circuit
• Improper hose routing after prior repairs
• Heat-related deterioration in the engine bay

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s pipe-to-pipe return hose routing before installation and compare the original line to the new hose for length, bends, and connection points. Inspect adjacent clamps, brackets, and mounting points for wear, and replace any damaged sealing surfaces before filling and bleeding the power steering system. Confirm fitment by year, make, model, and position before service.
