Application Details

Built for the Dodge Journey power steering return circuit, this hose assembly follows the original routing and connection style for the cooler tube position. The Sunsong 3404820 is engineered to restore proper fluid return flow in 2012-2017 Dodge Journey models, including vehicles with a finned cooler not included in the application.

This part cross-references 5154457AA and 68143991AB for the same application. The Sunsong 3404820 also aligns with OE-style replacement needs where exact fit and corrosion resistance matter.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Power steering fluid seepage from a worn return hose
• Corrosion on exposed steering line tubing
• Improper hose routing or fitment after line damage
• Noise or inconsistent steering assist caused by restricted return flow
• Fluid loss from cracked or heat-aged hose material

Installation Notes

Verify the cooler tube configuration before installation, since the fitment notes specify finned cooler not included. Inspect brackets, grommets, heat shields, bushings, and sleeves during replacement so the steering return line is routed and secured correctly. Confirm all connections are clean and properly seated before refilling and bleeding the power steering system.

Quality Assurance

Sunsong return hoses are manufactured to exceed original equipment performance standards for return-side steering service. The 3404820 uses zinc-coated steel tubing for added resistance to humidity, road salt, water, and grime, supporting long-term durability in demanding underhood and underbody conditions.
