Detailed Description

Cardone 20-298 is a remanufactured power steering pump designed for vehicles that use a remote reservoir and a press-on pulley arrangement. It includes a hydraulic pump, instruction sheet, and sealing kit, and it is supplied without a pulley or reservoir. The pump uses a threaded outlet with 16x1.5 thread size and a hose barb inlet attachment type.

This part cross-references Ford 5W1Z3A674AA and Lincoln 4W1Z3A674BA for the same application. It is a practical replacement choice for owners looking for a remanufactured power steering pump for Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, or Lincoln Town Car steering repair work.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard steering caused by weak hydraulic assist
• Whining or noisy power steering pump operation
• Low or inconsistent steering pressure
• Fluid leakage from worn seals or O-rings
• Poor steering response after pump wear or contamination

Before installation, inspect the pulley fit, flush the steering system, and check for contamination in the flow control valve and pressure hose. If the original pulley was removed from a mushroomed shaft or shows cracking, replace the pulley rather than reusing it. A clean system and proper bleeding are important for stable steering assist.

Quality Assurance

Every Cardone remanufactured power steering pump is hydraulically efficiency-tested and computer-tested to verify pressure, flow, valve function, steering effort, and noise. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
