Detailed Description

Sunsong 3605152 is a return hose assembly for the power steering system, made for the low-pressure side where fluid returns through the circuit under elevated temperatures. The steel tube construction and zinc electroplating help protect the line from rust and surface damage in harsh underbody conditions. This makes it a practical replacement for aging factory lines on the Honda Accord and Acura CL.

The assembly is precision engineered to match the original fit and includes the necessary wearable components as required by the application. This part cross-references Dorman HELP 93506 and Gates 367028 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Power steering fluid seepage from a worn return line
• Corrosion on the original steel hose assembly
• Cracked or deteriorated hose sections from heat exposure
• Improper routing or fit after a previous repair
• Noisy steering caused by low fluid level from a leaking return line

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle application before installation and compare the original line routing, end style, and length to the replacement. Inspect mating surfaces, brackets, and nearby components for wear or corrosion so the new hose can seat correctly and maintain proper clearance.

For best results, flush contaminated power steering fluid and check the system for leaks after installation. This part is intended for the specified intermediate pipe applications on the Honda Accord and Acura CL.

Quality Assurance

Sunsong manufactures this return hose assembly to exceed original equipment performance standards for return-side steering service. The steel tubing, zinc coating, and application-specific engineering support consistent fitment and corrosion resistance in demanding driving conditions.
