Product Details and Specifications

This power steering pump features a cast iron housing for enhanced durability and heat resistance. The inlet uses a hose barb attachment type, while the outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 size, designed for secure connection to the power steering system. The pump includes one outlet port and uses an O-ring type hose port to ensure a tight seal. Note that the pulley and reservoir are not included, and mounting hardware is not provided, so these components must be sourced separately if needed.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Restores power assist in steering systems for Ford Flex, Lincoln MKS, MKT, and Taurus
• Addresses whining noises caused by worn or contaminated pumps
• Resolves hard steering issues, especially when assist is inconsistent
• Eliminates fluid contamination problems affecting pressure hose performance
• Replaces pumps with damaged or cracked pulleys (pulley replacement required separately)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 20-387 power steering pump, ensure the pulley is properly aligned and pressed on, as the pulley is not included with the pump. Use the included sealing kit to prevent leaks at hose connections, and verify that the O-ring ports are seated correctly. Since mounting hardware and reservoir are not included, retain or replace these components as necessary. It is recommended to flush the power steering fluid and inspect hoses for contamination to avoid premature pump failure.
