Product Details

Cardone 20-1401 is a remanufactured hydraulic pump for power steering systems that use a remote reservoir. The unit is rebuilt from an original equipment design, then inspected and upgraded where needed to improve durability. Final testing verifies hydraulic efficiency and proper valve function so the pump delivers stable steering assist under normal driving conditions. This part cross-references Ford 7T4Z3A696A and Lincoln 7H6Z3A696A for the same application.

Common Steering Problems It Can Address

• Hard steering at low engine speed
• Whining or noisy pump operation
• Uneven or inconsistent steering assist
• Fluid leaks at seals or hose connections
• Poor hydraulic pressure after pump failure

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, N/A; reservoir not included, in-line filter, OE fluid and system flush required for warranty.
• Fits 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ, N/A; reservoir not included, in-line filter, OE fluid and system flush required for warranty.
• Fits 2007-2010 Ford Edge, N/A; reservoir not included, in-line filter, OE fluid and system flush required for warranty.
• Fits 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX, N/A; reservoir not included, in-line filter, OE fluid and system flush required for warranty.
• Flush and bleed the system before operation to remove contamination and air.
• Inspect the pulley fit before installation; a loose pulley fit usually means the pulley must be replaced.
