Volvo Power Steering Suction Hose - Genuine Volvo 30740269

Product Information

The power steering pressure hose is a high-pressure line that connects the power steering pump to the steering gear or rack. It carries pressurized power steering fluid from the pump to the steering mechanism, allowing for easier steering by amplifying the force exerted by the driver on the steering wheel.

• Fluid Leaks: A common sign of failure is visible leaking of power steering fluid around the pressure hose or its connections. This can appear as puddles or wet spots under the vehicle
• Increased Steering Effort: If the pressure hose is damaged or obstructed, it may result in reduced fluid flow to the steering gear, making it more difficult to turn the steering wheel
• Unusual Noises: Whining, groaning, or hissing sounds may occur when turning the steering wheel, indicating air in the system due to a leak or that the pump is working harder than usual

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
