Detailed Product Description

The Sunsong 3402742 power steering pressure line hose assembly is engineered to meet the hydraulic requirements of Dodge Ram trucks, specifically the 1500, 2500, and 3500 series. The hose is made from chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM), a material known for its resistance to heat, oil, and abrasion, which helps maintain system reliability under demanding conditions. This assembly includes a bracket to ensure secure installation and reduce vibration or movement during operation.

The hose features an 18mm female o-ring fitting on one end and a 16mm male o-ring fitting on the other, providing a precise and leak-resistant connection to the power steering pump and steering gear. Measuring 41 inches (1041 mm) in length, it is designed to fit the routing requirements of the specified Dodge Ram models. The absence of a power steering switch port simplifies installation and compatibility.
