Detailed Description

Sunsong 3405246 is a direct-fit power steering pressure hose assembly for classic Ford truck steering systems. It is built to OE-style dimensions and routing requirements for 1968-1972 Ford F-100, Ford F-250, and Ford F-350 models listed with the correct pump bend and steering gear configuration. The hose assembly uses high-grade steel tubing with a zinc coating to resist rust and corrosion from moisture, road salt, grime, and humidity. With a 1,500 psi working pressure rating, 8,700 psi burst rating, and 1,600 lb tensile strength, this hose is specified for demanding steering hydraulic service.

This part cross-references Dorman - HELP 81413 and Gates 353058 for the same application. Use part number 3405246 when replacing a worn or leaking Ford F-100 power steering pressure line hose assembly, Ford F-250 power steering pressure line hose assembly, or Ford F-350 power steering pressure line hose assembly.

What It Helps Fix

• Power steering fluid leaks at the pressure line
• Hard or inconsistent steering assist
• Pressure loss in the steering hydraulic circuit
• Corrosion-related hose or tube deterioration
• Fitment issues from incorrect hose routing or end connections

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering gear and pump-bend configuration before installation. Match the 1/2 in. male and 5/8 in. female end fittings to the original system, and inspect adjacent steering components for wear, seepage, or damaged mounting points before putting the vehicle back into service. Proper routing helps prevent contact with heat sources and moving parts.

Quality Assurance

Each Sunsong pressure hose is pressure-tested before it leaves the factory to confirm function and help support trouble-free installation and operation. The hose assembly is manufactured to exceed original equipment performance standards for pressure and durability.
