Built for OE-Style Steering Return Service

This Sunsong power steering return line hose assembly is made to meet original equipment performance expectations for the steering return circuit. The steel tubing is zinc electroplated to help resist corrosion from humidity, road salt, water, and grime, while the hose assembly is configured for exact fitment on 1973-1975 Ford F-100 trucks. Sunsong 3403053 is a practical replacement when the original return hose is leaking, cracked, or no longer holding proper routing and connection integrity. This part cross-references Gates 361580 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Power steering fluid seepage from a worn return hose
• Cracked or hardened hose material from heat and age
• Corrosion on steel tubing and related hose routing components
• Improper steering fluid return flow caused by damaged fittings
• Noisy or inconsistent steering operation related to hose deterioration

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the end connections before installation: End 1 uses an ID hose connection and End 2 uses a 3/8 in. male inverted flare fitting. Confirm routing, length, and mounting points against the original hose on your Ford F-100. The assembly is engineered for exact fit, and the included protective components are used as required by the application.

Quality Assurance

Sunsong states that this return hose assembly exceeds original equipment performance standards for low-pressure, high-temperature steering return use. The steel tubing is zinc coated for added resistance to corrosion and rust, supporting long-term service in demanding underhood and road conditions.
