Installation Manual

General Information

The factory Mercedes Sprinter power steering return hose is too short and is susceptible to slipping off due to motor vibration and movement while driving. This power steering hose failure is most common in 2019 and older Sprinter vans but has been known to happen on newer models as well. The AO Sprinter Power Steering Repair Hose Kit provides added hose length to alleviate stress and limit the possibility of failure.
