Cardone 20-27532 Power Steering Pump

Restore steering response with this remanufactured Cardone power steering pump for select Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac applications. Built to OE specifications and tested for hydraulic efficiency, this unit is a direct-fit replacement for the 1989-1991 Buick Skylark, 1989-1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, and 1989-1991 Pontiac Grand Am.

Key Features

• Remanufactured OE-style power steering pump with a perfect vehicle fit
• Triple-tested critical components, including cam packs and spool valves
• Computer-tested final assembly for pressure, bypass, fluid flow, valve operation, steering effort, and noise
• 100% new O-rings and premium-grade HNBR seals to help prevent leaks
• Surfaced shafts to precise specifications to reduce premature seal wear
• 100% tested and calibrated pressure relief valves
• Cast iron housing with reservoir included

Product Details

Cardone Power Steering Pump 20-27532 is remanufactured from an original equipment design and inspected for performance-critical details before release. The pump uses an O-ring hose port, a threaded outlet, a hose barb inlet attachment, and a press-on pulley attachment. It includes the reservoir and sealing kit, making it a practical replacement for service work on older GM steering systems. This part cross-references Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac OE number 26015880 for the same application.

Cardone’s remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, while maintaining OE-level fit and function. For 1989-1991 Buick Skylark, 1989-1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, and 1989-1991 Pontiac Grand Am power steering repair, this pump is built for direct replacement service.

Common Problems This Pump Can Address

• Whining or noisy power steering pump operation
• Hard steering at idle or low engine speed
• Loss of steering assist after pump failure
• Fluid leakage from worn seals or shaft wear
• Poor hydraulic pressure or inconsistent steering effort

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installing Cardone 20-27532, inspect the system for contamination and flush the lines if needed. Use the recommended OE fluid, and bleed the system thoroughly to remove trapped air; foam or bubbles in the reservoir usually indicate air still in the system. If the original pulley has loosened or the shaft end was damaged during removal, replace the pulley rather than reusing it.

Some steering systems are difficult to bleed manually and may require a vacuum pump. If assist is present only at higher engine rpm, check for steering system restriction, contamination, or binding components before replacing additional parts.

Quality Assurance

Every Cardone remanufactured power steering pump undergoes hydraulic efficiency testing and final computer testing to verify pressure, flow, valve operation, steering effort, and noise. Critical internal components are triple-tested, and the unit is assembled with new seals and calibrated relief valves for consistent performance.

For warranty purposes, follow the OE fluid recommendation and flush the system during installation.
