ACDelco 36-361260 Power Steering Pressure Line Hose Assembly
for 1997 (please select make/model)

Description:

Features and Benefits:

• Built-in shock absorbing characteristics in hose help ensure proper resistance to fluid surges
• Double-lock beading tube end provides crimping and assists in leak prevention for hose/coupling integrity
• End-lock tabs position hose for accurate alignment and routing
• Fluid restrictors help absorb vibration and reduce noise
• High tensile strength braided fabric help the lines withstand pulsation pressures up to 1,500 psi and bursting pressure up to 8,900 psi
• Hose assembly is engineered with a muffler to act as a pump noise suppressor, helping assure quiet operation where required
• Hose cover is highly resistant to oil, heat, and ozone - conditions which cause ordinary hoses to fail prematurely
• Movable mounting brackets allow easy and secure installation
• Original style fitting means that no adapters are required
• Silver heat guard helps protect hose in high-temperature areas
• Split conduit (convoluted) hose protects vital areas
• Switch sockets allow reinstallation of original equipment pressure sensors
• Unique crimping methods ensure uniform connections between hose and end fittings
• Zinc-aluminum alloy with an aluminum-rich epoxy top coating on tubes helps protect against rust and corrosion

Features and Benefits:

• – 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.
• – 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.
• – Always check the specific manufacturer's service information for the correct power steering fluid to use. Different fluids are specified by the manufacturers to meet the operating requirements of their power steering systems. On some modern steering systems, brake fluids or transmission fluids may not be compatible with pump components. Using the wrong fluid could cause hose and seal damage as well as fluid leaks.
• – Check power steering fluid levels periodically and add fluid when necessary.
• – 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.
• – If you live in areas that experience harsh, winter weather, have the entire steering system inspected before winter arrives to help ensure safer driving.
• – Inspect power steering hoses regularly.
• – It is a good idea to replace O-rings when doing any steering system service. Reusing old O-rings can cause leaks.
• – Keep in mind that fluid color is not an indication of fluid condition.
