Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Sunsong 3401957 hose assembly, ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and the power steering system is depressurized. Verify the hose routing matches the original to avoid kinks or interference. The absence of a bracket means the hose should be secured using existing mounting points.
