Detailed Description

Sunsong 3402842 is a power steering pressure hose assembly for select Chrysler and Dodge vehicles equipped with Chrysler power steering pumps. It is built to restore proper hydraulic pressure transfer in classic steering systems, with exact-fit engineering that follows the original hose layout for the listed applications. This part number, 3402842, is designed for vehicles such as the Dodge Charger, Dodge Dart, Chrysler Newport, and Chrysler New Yorker, making it a focused replacement for specific vintage steering configurations.

The assembly is pressure tested before it leaves the factory, and its connection sizes are specified as 5/16 in. male O-ring on one end and 3/8 in. male O-ring on the other. This makes the Sunsong 3402842 a practical choice when replacing a worn or leaking pressure line on compatible Chrysler PS pump systems.

What This Hose Helps Address

• Power steering fluid leaks at the pressure line
• Loss of steering assist from a damaged hose
