Detailed Product Description

This power steering hose assembly from Sunsong is engineered to meet the specifications required by Pontiac and Toyota vehicles such as the Corolla, Matrix, and Vibe. The 91.5-inch length provides a precise fit, reducing the risk of leaks or kinks in the hydraulic line. Constructed with durable CSM hose material, it offers resistance against heat, ozone, and hydraulic fluid degradation, which is critical for maintaining consistent steering response. The included bracket ensures the hose remains securely mounted, preventing movement that could lead to premature wear.
