Detailed Product Overview

Built to meet or exceed original equipment performance standards, this Sunsong power steering return line hose assembly is made for the return side of the steering system, where fluid moves from the cooler back to the reservoir. The 3404032 is formed from high-grade steel and finished with zinc plating to help resist humidity, road salt, water, and grime. It is a direct-fit replacement for Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models listed in the fitment data, making it a practical choice when replacing a leaking or corroded return hose.

This part cross-references Gates 352501 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Power steering fluid leaks at the return hose
• Corrosion on steel steering line tubing
• Damaged or fatigued cooler-to-reservoir hose routing
• Steering noise caused by low fluid level from hose seepage
• Restoration needs on aging Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable steering systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the cooler-to-reservoir routing before installation and compare the original hose shape, bracket locations, and connection points to the new assembly. Inspect nearby grommets, bushings, heat shields, and protective sleeves during service, since worn support components can affect hose life and routing accuracy. The 3404032 is intended for the return side of the system and should be matched to the vehicle’s original configuration.
