Common Problems This Pump Can Address
- Whining or noisy power steering pump operation
- Hard steering caused by weak hydraulic pressure
- Inconsistent assist at low engine speed
- Fluid leakage from worn seals or shaft wear
- Poor steering response after pump failure or contamination
Installation Notes and Tips
This pump is supplied without a pulley and without a reservoir. For 2004 Explorer and Mountaineer applications, the fitment notes specify a build date from 03/30/2004. Use the correct OE fluid, install an in-line filter, and flush the system before operation to help protect the replacement pump. If the original pulley has a loose fit after removal, replace the pulley rather than reusing it.
If the system still whines after installation, check for air in the system and bleed it again. If assist only appears at higher engine rpm, inspect for contamination, binding steering components, or flow control valve issues.
Quality Assurance
Cardone remanufactured power steering pumps are tested to verify hydraulic efficiency and proper function before release. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
