Product Details and Specifications

This power steering pump features a cast iron housing for durability and long service life.

The pulley attachment is press-on style; note that the pulley is not included with this pump. The package contains the hydraulic pump, an instruction sheet, and a sealing kit to assist with installation. The pump comes with an integrated reservoir but does not include a remote reservoir or reservoir cap. Mounting hardware is not provided and must be sourced separately.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

  • Restores power steering assist in Saturn SC, SL, and SW series vehicles
  • Resolves whining noises caused by worn or contaminated pumps
  • Addresses hard steering or inconsistent assist during engine rpm changes
  • Eliminates leaks related to worn seals or damaged pump components
  • Corrects steering difficulties caused by pump pulley or pressure hose issues

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 20-48831 power steering pump, ensure the pulley is inspected or replaced separately, as it is not included. Use the provided sealing kit to prevent leaks at hose connections. Verify that the hose barb and threaded outlet connections match your vehicleโ€™s existing lines. Since mounting hardware is not included, retain or replace bolts as needed. It is recommended to flush the power steering fluid and inspect the pressure hose for contamination to avoid premature pump failure.
