Detailed Product Description

The Sunsong power steering return line hose assembly (part number 3402739) is engineered to meet the specifications required by Hummer H3 and H3T vehicles. The hose is made from chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM), a material known for its resistance to heat, oil, and abrasion, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the power steering fluid return path. The assembly measures 20 inches (508 mm) in length, providing a precise fit without the need for modifications.

Fittings are designed for secure connections: one end features a 3/8 inch inside diameter hose fitting, while the other end has an 11 mm male captive o-ring fitting. This configuration ensures leak-free operation and compatibility with the original power steering components. The absence of a bracket means this hose is intended to be installed using existing mounting points on the vehicle.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Replacement of worn or cracked power steering return hoses on Hummer H3 and H3T
• Eliminates power steering fluid leaks caused by damaged return lines
• Restores proper fluid flow to prevent steering system noise or stiffness
• Prevents contamination and maintains hydraulic pressure in the power steering system
• Addresses issues related to hose swelling or hardening due to age or heat exposure
