Detailed Description

This Sunsong pressure hose assembly is built to restore steering fluid transfer between the pump and rack on the Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire. The hose uses CSM material and features a 16 mm female end and an 18 mm male O-ring end, with a 34-inch overall length for the specified rack-side application. Sunsong 3401380 is manufactured to exceed original equipment performance standards, with steel tubing protected by zinc plating to help resist rust, road salt, moisture, and grime. This part cross-references Gates 362810 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Steering fluid leaks from a worn or damaged pressure line
• Loss of power steering assist caused by hose failure
• Noise or stiffness from restricted hydraulic flow
• Corrosion-related deterioration in the pressure line assembly
• Fitment issues when replacing an aging rack-side hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify end sizes, routing, and rack-side orientation before installation. The 16 mm female and 18 mm male O-ring connections must match the vehicle’s steering system configuration. Inspect adjacent seals, fittings, and mounting points for wear before installing the new hose. Confirm the line is routed without kinks or contact points that could lead to premature wear.

Quality Assurance

Each Sunsong 3401380 hose is pressure tested before it leaves the factory to help ensure reliable installation and operation. The assembly is engineered for durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life in demanding steering system conditions.
