Gates extensive field examination and testing assure the proper fit for these OEM Type assemblies. Designed for passenger cars and light trucks, they meet or exceed the OE assembly in fit, form, quality and function. Hoses and fittings are also available separately for tailor-made medium and heavy-duty truck applications.

Installation Tips

• Replace all power steering hoses at the same time, to prevent system contamination
• Completely flush the system with an OE approved Power Steering Fluid prior to installation (the correct type of fluid is noted on the reservoir cap or in your owner's manual). Flushing the system is critical to prevent system contamination and failure
• Install the replacement hose in reverse order of how it was removed, making sure to install any included o-rings. Lubricate the o-rings with Silicone Grease and carefully install them, to prevent damage. Make sure the hose is not touching or rubbing against any components that vibrate or give off heat
• Consider installing a Power Steering Filter on the Power Steering Return Hose to prevent system contamination and extend the life of the power steering components
