Installation Notes and Tips

Verify end fitting sizes, swivel O-ring connection points, and the pressure line routing before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle uses the PS switch port and compare the original hose length and bracket locations to the replacement assembly. On Ford Tempo, Mercury Topaz, Ford Escort, and Mercury Lynx applications, match the hose path carefully to avoid contact with moving or hot components.

Quality Assurance

Each hose is pressure tested before it leaves the factory to help ensure proper operation after installation. Sunsong builds this assembly to exceed original equipment performance standards for pressure capacity and durability.
