Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Sunsong 3401558 hose assembly, ensure the fittings are properly aligned to avoid cross-threading. The 16 mm female and swivel o-ring fittings require careful tightening to manufacturer torque specifications to prevent leaks. Since this assembly does not include a bracket or power steering switch port, verify existing mounting points and switch connections before installation. It is recommended to flush the power steering system fluid to remove contaminants and air pockets after hose replacement.
