Cardone 20-30900 Power Steering Pump

Remanufactured Power Steering Pump for OE Fit

Cardone Power Steering Pump 20-30900 is a remanufactured hydraulic pump built to meet or exceed original equipment performance. It is engineered for direct replacement use on select Chevrolet Corsica, Chevrolet Cavalier, and Pontiac Tempest applications, with a reservoir included and OE-style fitment.

Cardone remanufactured power steering pumps are inspected for design improvements where applicable, then tested for critical function and hydraulic efficiency. This helps deliver consistent steering assist, stable fluid flow, and reliable operation in daily driving conditions.

Key Features

• Remanufactured Original Equipment-style power steering pump
• Triple-tested critical components, including cam packs and spool valves
• 100% new O-rings and premium-grade HNBR seals to help resist leaks and heat breakdown
• Computer-tested final assembly for pressure, bypass, fluid flow, valve operation, steering effort, and noise
• Precision-surfaced shafts to help reduce premature seal wear
• 100% tested and calibrated pressure relief valves
• Cast iron housing with threaded outlet and O-ring hose port type
• Reservoir included; press-on pulley attachment type; pulley not included

Product Details

This Cardone Power Steering Pump 20-30900 is designed for drivers needing a remanufactured replacement for hydraulic steering systems on 1988-1996 Chevrolet Corsica, 1990-1994 Chevrolet Cavalier, and 1990-1991 Pontiac Tempest. It uses a threaded outlet connection with a 16x1.5 outlet thread size, a hose barb inlet attachment type, and a reservoir included in the assembly. This part cross-references Chevrolet 26004060 and 26015881 for the same application.

Common Problems This Pump Can Address

• Hard steering at low engine speed
• Whining or noisy power steering pump operation
• Loss of hydraulic assist after pump wear or seal failure
• Fluid leakage from aged seals or O-rings
• Inconsistent steering effort caused by internal valve or flow issues

Installation Notes

• Compatible With 1988-1996 Chevrolet Corsica, N/A; 1990-1994 Chevrolet Cavalier, N/A; and 1990-1991 Pontiac Tempest, N/A.
• System flushing is recommended before installation, especially if contamination or pump failure is present.
• Use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended power steering fluid.
• Inspect the steering gear, hoses, and related components for binding or debris before replacing the pump.
• If the original pulley has a loose fit on the replacement shaft, replace the pulley rather than reusing a damaged one.
• If steering assist only appears at higher engine rpm, check for contamination in the flow control valve bore and verify the rest of the steering system.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured pumps are built from original equipment cores and tested to verify hydraulic performance before release. The remanufacturing process reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, while maintaining OE-style fit and function for the listed applications.
