| Product Description | ACDelco Gold (Professional) Power Steering Return Line Hose Assemblies are a high quality alternative to Original Equipment (OE) parts. Power steering return line hose assemblies effectively transfer low pressure power steering fluid from the vehicle's gear assembly back to the fluid reservoir. These power steering return line hose assemblies come with pre-bent coupled end fittings where required. The connection on the uncoupled end is made with ordinary worm-drive clamps. ACDelco Gold (Professional) parts are manufactured to meet your expectations for fit, form, and function, making them a smart choice for General Motors vehicles, as well as most makes and models, including special applications. These high-quality parts are backed by General Motors. Some ACDelco Gold parts may have formerly appeared as ACDelco Professional. ⚠ <bold>WARNING: </bold>This product can expose you to Lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 8 | After any service of the power steering system, always bleed the air from the system and verify proper system operation. An accurate fluid level cannot be obtained unless air is bled from the steering system. The air in the fluid may cause pump cavitation noise as well as pump damage over a period of time. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 6 | Always check the specific manufacturer’s service information for the correct power steering fluid to use. Different fluids are specified by manufacturers to meet the operating requirements of their power steering systems. |
| End 2 Type | Beaded Tube |
| Features & Benefits - Bullet 3 | Beaded tube ends provide clamping points and assist in leak prevention for superior hose/coupling integrity |
| Color | Black Silver |
| FAQ - Question 4 | Can using the incorrect fluid cause damage to my power steering system? |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 2 | Check power steering fluid levels periodically and add fluid when necessary. |
| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 1 | Difficulty steering and/or visible power steering fluid leakage indicates a sign of wear. |
| FAQ - Question 1 | Do I need to change my power steering fluid regularly, even if there are no symptoms of problems with the system? |
| Features & Benefits - Bullet 4 | End-lock tabs position hose for accurate alignment and routing |
| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 4 | External wear and abrasion can be caused by contact with the manifold or other engine parts. This issue may require hose replacement or realignment. |
| Features & Benefits - Bullet 2 | Fluid restrictors help absorb vibration and reduce noise |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 3 | Have your vehicle inspected if it exhibits any of the following symptoms: unusual noise when turning the steering wheel, a shimmy or shake in the steering wheel, heavy or unresponsive steering at low speeds or during parking lot maneuvers, and/or the steering wheel does not properly return to center. |
| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 6 | High temperature pulsations cause power steering hoses to deteriorate from the inside. The constant flexing and pressure surges result in the breaking off of small particles of hose, which are carried through the system and can lead to system malfunction. |
| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 2 | Hose brittleness or hardness can be an early sign of internal wear. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 4 | If you live in areas that experience harsh, winter weather, have the entire steering system inspected before winter arrives to help ensure safer driving. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 1 | Inspect power steering hoses regularly. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 5 | It is a good idea to replace O-rings when doing any steering system service. Reusing old O-rings can cause leaks. |
| Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 7 | Keep in mind that fluid color is not an indication of fluid condition. |
| End 1 Type | Male O-Ring |
| Features & Benefits - Bullet 5 | Movable mounting brackets allow easy and secure installation |
| Programming Required | No |
| FAQ - Answer 1 | No. It is not necessary to regularly check power steering fluid unless there is a leak suspected in the system or an unusual noise is heard. Fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem, and you should have the system inspected and repaired if you find evidence of a loss. Always reference your vehicle’s service information for appropriate maintenance intervals. |
| FAQ - Answer 2 | No. You will be able to steer your vehicle if the power steering goes out, but it will require more effort, especially at lower speeds. If your power steering goes out, have the system inspected and repaired as soon as possible. |
| Features & Benefits - Bullet 6 | Original style fitting means that no adapters are required |
| Material | Rubber Steel |

| Features & Benefits - Bullet 1 | Silver heat guard helps protect hose in high-temperature areas |
| Features & Benefits - Bullet 7 | Split conduit (convoluted) hose protects vital areas |
| Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 5 | Thick, sludgy fluid in the pump reservoir indicates internal hose wear and the need for a complete flush of the system. |
