Product Details and Specifications
This power steering pump features a cast iron housing that provides strength and resistance to wear. The pump’s outlet uses a 5/8-18 threaded connection, while the inlet is designed for a hose barb attachment with a seat-type hose port, ensuring secure fluid flow. The included reservoir supports hydraulic fluid storage, but the pump does not come with a pulley or mounting hardware, so these components must be sourced separately if needed. The pulley attaches via a bolt-on method, consistent with many OEM configurations.
