Sunsong 3404052 Power Steering Reservoir Hose - Reservoir To Pump

Power Steering Reservoir Hose Overview

The Sunsong 3404052 power steering reservoir hose is built for return-side fluid transfer in systems that operate under low pressure and elevated temperature. It is engineered for exact fitment and corrosion resistance, making it a direct service part for compatible Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson applications.

Key Features

• Max working pressure of 250 psi for return-hose service conditions
• Suitable for low-pressure, high-temperature power steering operation
• High-grade steel tubing with zinc electroplating for corrosion and rust resistance
• Precision-engineered fit to restore original hose routing and function
• Includes required wear components as specified by the manufacturer

Detailed Description

This Sunsong power steering reservoir hose is designed for reservoir-to-pump routing and is built to meet original equipment performance standards. The steel construction and zinc-coated finish help resist damage from humidity, road salt, water, and grime, while the engineered fit supports proper hose alignment in the steering system. This part number 3404052 is a practical replacement for vehicles that need a return hose with OE-style fit and material durability. It cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a leaking or corroded power steering reservoir hose
• Restoring fluid transfer between the reservoir and pump
• Addressing hose wear from heat, moisture, and road contamination
• Correcting fitment issues caused by damaged original routing components
• Supporting proper steering system fluid circulation in service applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify reservoir-to-pump routing before installation and compare the original hose shape, bracket locations, and connection points to the replacement part. Inspect surrounding bushings, grommets, heat shields, and sleeves during service so worn components can be addressed at the same time. Confirm fitment for 2005-2010 Kia Sportage and 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson applications before installation.
