Detailed Description

This Cardone Power Steering Pump, part number 20-39772, is engineered as a remanufactured replacement for the Jeep Grand Cherokee power steering system. The design is inspected for improvement opportunities during remanufacturing, and updated components are used where applicable to improve durability over the original unit. The pump uses an O-ring hose port, a threaded outlet, and a hose barb inlet attachment type, with a press-on pulley attachment and no pulley included.

For 1996-1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee models with Speed Proportional Steering (SBC), this pump supports stable hydraulic assist and consistent steering response. Cardone 20-39772 is also listed under Jeep interchange number 52088663.

What It Helps Fix

• Whining or noisy power steering pump operation
• Hard steering caused by weak hydraulic pressure
• Inconsistent assist after pump replacement
• Leaks from worn seals or aged pump components
• Poor steering response related to contaminated or inefficient pump operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, inspect the fluid condition and flush the system if contamination is present. Air trapped in the system can cause whining noise, so bleed the steering system thoroughly after installation. If the original pulley has a loose fit after removal, replace the pulley rather than reusing it. For warranty purposes, Cardone recommends installing an in-line filter, using the suggested OE fluid, and flushing the system.

Some steering complaints are caused by binding steering components rather than the pump itself, so inspect the steering unit and related hardware if assist remains uneven after replacement. If the pump whines after installation, recheck for air in the system and verify fluid level and condition.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured power steering pumps are tested to verify hydraulic efficiency and proper function before release. Critical internal components are triple-tested, seals are replaced with new HNBR materials, and the final assembly is computer-tested for pressure, flow, valve operation, steering effort, and noise. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
