• Return line hose assembly for power steering cooler-to-reservoir and pipe-to-cooler routing
• 3/8 in. ID hose fittings on both ends
• 9.3 in. (236 mm) overall length
• CSM hose material for return-side fluid handling
• Rated for a maximum working pressure of 250 psi
• High-grade steel tubing with zinc electroplating for corrosion and rust resistance
• Precision-engineered to match original fitment requirements

Detailed Description

Sunsong 3402494 is a power steering return line hose assembly made to restore the return path between the cooler and reservoir or pipe and cooler, depending on application. It is designed for 1990-1999 Mitsubishi and Dodge platforms, including the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mitsubishi Galant, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Plymouth Laser, and Dodge Stealth. This part cross-references Gates 352119 for the same application.

The assembly uses 3/8 in. ID hose connections at both ends and a 9.3 in. length for accurate routing. Sunsong specifies high-grade steel tubing with zinc coating to improve resistance to humidity, road salt, water, and grime. The return hose is built for low-pressure, high-temperature operation and is engineered to restore worn wearable components to original condition where required by the vehicle design.

What This Part Helps Address

• Power steering fluid seepage from a worn return hose
• Cracked or hardened hose material from heat exposure
• Corrosion on the return line tubing
• Restricted or degraded steering fluid return flow
• Noise or inconsistent steering feel caused by a failing return-side hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s return line routing before ordering, since this assembly is used in both cooler-to-reservoir and pipe-to-cooler positions. Confirm the 3/8 in. ID hose ends and the 9.3 in. overall length against the original hose before installation. For best results, inspect nearby brackets, grommets, heat shields, bushings, and protective sleeves on the vehicle and replace worn components as needed during service.

Quality Assurance

Sunsong states that this return hose exceeds original equipment performance standards for return-side service and is manufactured with corrosion-resistant steel tubing and zinc plating for added durability in harsh underbody conditions. Part number 3402494 is built to meet exact-fit requirements for the listed applications.
