Product Details and Specifications
This power steering pump features a durable cast iron housing designed to withstand the rigors of hydraulic pressure and heat. The inlet attachment uses a hose barb type, while the outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 size, ensuring secure connections to the vehicle’s steering system. The pump includes one outlet port and comes with a reservoir integrated into the unit, although it does not include a reservoir cap or pulley. The pulley attachment is press-on style, so the original pulley must be reused or replaced separately.
