Detailed Description

This Sunsong power steering pressure line hose assembly, part number 3402452, is built to meet demanding steering-system requirements on the 1997 Ford F-250 HD and 1997 Ford F-350. The hose is manufactured to exceed original equipment performance standards with a 1,500 psi maximum working pressure, 8,700 psi burst pressure rating, and 1,600 lb tensile strength. For Ford F-250 HD and Ford F-350 hydroboost-to-gear service, that means a replacement hose designed around the correct routing, fitting style, and pressure demands of the application.

All tubing is made from high-grade steel with zinc coating to help resist rust and corrosion from humidity, road salt, water, and grime. Part number 3402452 is also cross-referenced to Dayco 80318 for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Power steering fluid leaking from the pressure hose
• Steering effort increasing due to pressure loss
• Cracked, rusted, or damaged hose tubing
• Incorrect fitment on hydroboost-to-gear steering routing
• Noise or inconsistent steering assist from a failing pressure line

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 1997 Ford F-250 HD or 1997 Ford F-350 with hydroboost to gear routing and O-ring fittings before installation. Confirm the end sizes match the system: 5/8 in. male O-ring on one end and 1/2 in. male O-ring on the other. Inspect mating surfaces, flush contaminated fluid if needed, and check for proper hose routing and clearance after installation.

Quality Assurance

Each hose is high-pressure tested at the factory before it leaves production. Sunsong 3402452 is engineered for precise fit and dependable operation in the specified Ford steering applications.
