Cardone 20-326 Power Steering Pump

Remanufactured Power Steering Pump for Ford Applications

The Cardone 20-326 remanufactured power steering pump is built for Ford steering systems that need restored hydraulic assist and stable fluid flow. It is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment performance for the listed Ford Focus and Ford Transit Connect applications.

Cardone’s Power Steering Pump line focuses on OE-style fitment and remanufactured durability. For this unit, critical components are tested, seals are replaced, and the final assembly is hydraulically evaluated for pressure, bypass, flow, valve operation, steering effort, and noise.

Key Features

• Remanufactured Original Equipment-style fit for direct vehicle application
• Triple-tested critical components, including cam packs and spool valves
• 100% new O-rings and premium HNBR seals to help resist heat-related seal breakdown
• Computer-tested final assembly for pressure, bypass, fluid flow, valve operation, steering effort, and noise
• Surfaced shafts to precise specifications to reduce premature seal wear
• Supplied with a tested and calibrated pressure relief valve
• Cast iron housing with threaded outlet and O-ring hose port design

Detailed Description

Cardone 20-326 is a remanufactured power steering pump for 2006-2011 Ford Focus and 2010-2011 Ford Transit Connect applications. It uses a press-on pulley attachment, threaded outlet connection, and hose barb inlet attachment, with no reservoir included. This part cross-references Ford 6S4Z3A674A for the same application.

The remanufacturing process is designed to restore hydraulic performance while improving durability where possible. Each unit is inspected, rebuilt with new sealing components, and tested to verify proper steering assist characteristics before it leaves the remanufacturing process.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard steering at low engine speed
• Whining or noisy pump operation
• Loss of hydraulic assist in Ford Focus or Ford Transit Connect steering systems
• Steering effort that changes with fluid contamination or internal wear
• Leaks related to worn seals or degraded pump components

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2006 Ford Focus, N/A; reservoir not included; in-line filter and OE fluid with system flush required for warranty.
• Fits 2007-2011 Ford Focus, N/A; reservoir not included; in-line filter and OE fluid with system flush required for warranty.
• Fits 2010 Ford Transit Connect, N/A; reservoir not included; in-line filter and OE fluid with system flush required for warranty.
• Fits 2011 Ford Transit Connect, N/A; before 01/17/2011; reservoir not included; in-line filter recommended; use suggested OE fluid and flush the system for warranty purposes.
• Inspect the pulley fit before installation, and replace a damaged pulley if the bore has been enlarged during removal.
• Flush the steering system and bleed air from the circuit after installation to help prevent contamination-related issues.

Quality Assurance

Every Cardone remanufactured pump is tested for hydraulic efficiency and verified for proper function before release. The process includes inspection of critical wear components, replacement of sealing materials, and calibration of the pressure relief valve to support reliable operation in Ford Focus and Ford Transit Connect steering systems.
