• End 1: 1/2 in. male O-ring fitting
• End 2: 16 mm swivel O-ring fitting
• 32.8 in. (833 mm) hose length
• CSM hose material for fluid and heat resistance
• High-grade steel tubing with zinc electroplating for corrosion resistance
• Pressure-rated to 1,500 psi working pressure, 8,700 psi burst pressure, and 1,600 lb tensile strength
• Precision-engineered to match original routing and fitment requirements

Detailed Description

Sunsong 3402037 is a power steering pressure line hose assembly for 1997 Ford F-250 HD and 1997 Ford F-350 models with O-ring fitting requirements. This hose is manufactured with high-grade steel tubing and a zinc coating to resist rust and corrosion from humidity, road salt, water, and grime. The CSM hose construction and pressure ratings support reliable fluid transfer in demanding steering systems, while the exact-fit design helps restore original steering line routing and function. This part cross-references Gates 356540 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Help Resolve

• Power steering fluid leaks from a worn or damaged pressure hose
• Steering noise caused by pressure loss in the hydraulic line
• Hard or inconsistent steering response from restricted fluid flow
• Corrosion-related hose deterioration on exposed steel tubing
• Fitment problems when replacing an aging O-ring style pressure line

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the end fittings before installation: this hose uses a 1/2 in. male O-ring on one end and a 16 mm swivel O-ring on the other. Confirm the vehicle is a 1997 Ford F-250 HD or 1997 Ford F-350 with the noted O-ring fitting configuration, and inspect adjacent steering components for wear, contamination, or damage before completing the repair.

Quality Assurance

Each Sunsong pressure hose is pressure tested before it leaves the factory to help ensure proper operation and installation. The hose is built to exceed original equipment performance standards for pressure, burst strength, and durability.
