About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Product Line

Detailed Product Description
This remanufactured power steering pump features a cast iron housing that provides structural integrity and resistance to wear. The pump connects via a hose barb inlet and a threaded outlet with a 16x1.5 thread size, designed to interface securely with the vehicle’s power steering hoses. The O-ring type hose port ensures a tight seal to prevent leaks. The pump includes a sealing kit and an instruction sheet to assist with installation. Note that the pulley is not included and uses a press-on attachment type, so the original pulley must be reused or replaced separately.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Restores power assist in Ford Focus and Transit Connect steering systems
- Eliminates whining noises caused by worn or contaminated pumps
- Resolves hard steering or inconsistent assist at low engine RPM
- Addresses leaks or pressure loss due to worn seals or pump failure
- Corrects steering difficulties related to pump malfunction rather than steering gear
Installation Notes and Tips
- Ensure the original pulley is inspected for cracks or damage before reuse
- Use the included sealing kit to replace all seals and prevent leaks
- Verify hose connections match the O-ring and threaded port specifications
- Bleed the power steering system after installation to remove air
- Check fluid condition and replace power steering fluid as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
