Detailed Product Description
This Cardone Power Steering Pump 20-48541 is a remanufactured unit built to meet or exceed OEM specifications for Saturn vehicles including the SC, SL, and SW model lines.

The outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 size, designed for compatibility with factory power steering lines. The pump comes with a sealing kit and instruction sheet to assist with proper installation.
