Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Power steering fluid leaks from a cracked or worn pressure hose
• Hard steering caused by pressure loss in the hydraulic line
• Noise from the power steering system related to restricted fluid flow
• Corrosion damage on the original steel line
• Fitment issues from a damaged or incorrect replacement hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is a 1997-1998 Ford Windstar before ordering. Match the 16 mm swivel O-ring fittings and verify the 59.5 in. hose length against the original line routing. Inspect mating seals, brackets, and nearby components for wear before installation so the new hose can seat correctly and maintain proper system pressure.

Quality Assurance

Each Sunsong pressure hose is high-pressure tested at the factory before shipment. The design is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment performance standards for the Ford Windstar power steering pressure line application.
