Detailed Description

Sunsong 3404142 is a power steering return line hose assembly made for select Nissan Maxima and Nissan Altima vehicles with pipe-to-cooler routing. It is built to meet original equipment performance standards on the return side of the steering system, where fluid moves at lower pressure but can still see elevated temperatures. The steel tubing is zinc plated to improve resistance to rust and corrosion in harsh driving environments. This part cross-references Four Seasons 75091 and Gates 365994 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Leaking or cracked power steering return hose
• Corrosion on the original return line tubing
• Fluid seepage at worn hose connections
• Noise or steering performance issues caused by low fluid level
• Damage from heat, road salt, or underbody grime

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle routing before installation and confirm the pipe-to-cooler configuration on your Nissan Maxima or Altima. Inspect adjacent brackets, grommets, heat shields, bushings, and sleeves during replacement so the new hose assembly can be routed correctly and protected from abrasion and heat. Always check for leaks and proper fluid level after service.
