Detailed Description

Sunsong 3401510 is a power steering return line hose assembly engineered for vehicles that use a 3/8 in. ID hose connection on one end and a 16 mm male O-ring fitting on the other. It is specified for select 1991-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire, and Saturn SC1, SC2, SC, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, and SW2 applications, including listed From Gear configurations. The hose is designed for return-side steering fluid flow and is suitable for low-pressure, high-temperature operation.

According to the manufacturer, the tubing uses high-grade steel with zinc electroplating for added resistance to rust and corrosion from humidity, road salt, water, and grime. This makes Sunsong 3401510 a practical replacement when restoring steering system integrity on a Chevrolet Cavalier or Pontiac Sunfire, or when servicing Saturn S-Series vehicles that require the listed fitment.

This part cross-references Dayco 71798 for the same application.
