Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering hose routing and connection style before installation. This assembly uses ID hose fittings at both ends and does not include a bracket or switch port. Confirm the application by year, make, model, and position: pipe to reservoir or gear to pipe, depending on the vehicle.

For best results, inspect related steering components for wear, fluid contamination, or corrosion before installing the new hose. On Nissan Altima, Nissan Murano, and Nissan Maxima applications, matching the original routing helps ensure proper clearance and hose life.
