Detailed Product Description

The Sunsong 3401414 power steering return line hose assembly is engineered to meet the specifications required by Ford heavy-duty trucks such as the Excursion, F-250 Super Duty, and F-350 Super Duty. The hose is made from CSM (chlorosulfonated polyethylene) material, known for its durability and resistance to heat, oil, and abrasion, which is critical for maintaining hydraulic fluid integrity under demanding conditions.

This assembly measures 43.5 inches (1104 mm) in length, ensuring a proper fit without the need for modifications. The hose ends are designed with specific fittings: a 3/8 inch beaded tube on one end and a 5/8 inch male o-ring on the other, facilitating secure connections within the power steering system. The absence of a bracket and power steering switch port simplifies installation and reduces potential failure points.
