What This Part Helps Address

• Power steering fluid seepage at the return line
• Cracked, hardened, or deteriorated hose material
• Corrosion on the steel line section
• Restricted steering fluid return flow
• Noise or steering performance issues caused by a worn return hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering routing before ordering. This hose is listed for gear-to-cooler applications and excludes HD cooling configurations; some Voyager, Caravan, Grand Caravan, and Grand Voyager listings also note use with a finned cooler. Match the end fittings, hose length, and routing path to the original part before installation. Inspect nearby brackets, grommets, heat shields, bushings, and protective sleeves during service and replace worn components as needed to restore the original routing condition.

Quality Assurance

Sunsong states that this return hose exceeds original equipment performance standards and is engineered for exact fitment on the listed applications. The corrosion-resistant steel construction and application-specific design support dependable steering system service on the covered Chrysler and Dodge models.
