Detailed Description

Part number 63115N is a new hydraulic power steering pump designed for vehicles that require OE-style steering assist and correct hydraulic response. It is listed for 2003-2004 Ford Focus, 1998-2000 Ford Contour, 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, 1999-2000 Mercury Mystique, and 1998 Mercury Mystique. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

AAE’s New Power Steering Pump line is built around OE-quality components and validated fitment. For Ford Focus and Mercury Cougar steering repair jobs, 63115N provides a direct replacement option where the original pump has lost pressure, become noisy, or no longer delivers consistent assist.

Common Problems This Pump Can Address

• Hard steering at low speeds or during parking maneuvers.
• Whining, groaning, or pump noise from worn hydraulic components.
• Low or inconsistent power steering assist.
• Fluid leakage from a failing pump assembly.
• Steering effort changes caused by internal pump wear.

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installing 63115N, flush the steering system and refill it with OE-approved power steering fluid. AAE recommends replacing the steering fluid reservoir at the same time, since a clogged reservoir can restrict flow and starve the replacement pump. This pump is listed without a pulley and without a reservoir, so verify the vehicle’s existing components and application notes before installation.
