Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 20-372 power steering pump, note that mounting hardware and pulley are not included and must be reused or sourced separately. Ensure the pressure hose is free of contamination before installation to prevent premature pump failure. The press-on pulley attachment requires careful alignment to avoid damage to the input shaft. Follow the included instruction sheet for proper sealing kit installation and torque specifications. Regularly check and maintain power steering fluid levels, as some OEMs recommend fluid changes even if no issues are apparent.
