Cardone Power Steering Pump Product Line Details

The Cardone Power Steering Pump line focuses on remanufactured components that meet or exceed original equipment specifications. This product line emphasizes quality restoration of hydraulic power steering systems, providing reliable performance for vehicles requiring replacement pumps. The 20-6245 model is part of this line, offering a balance of durability and compatibility for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury full-size sedans and station wagons.

Detailed Product Description

This remanufactured power steering pump features an aluminum housing that ensures strength and efficient heat management. The pump includes a hydraulic pump assembly, a sealing kit, and an instruction sheet to assist with installation. It uses a press-on pulley attachment type, though the pulley itself is not included, allowing reuse of the original pulley if it remains in good condition. The inlet uses a hose barb attachment, while the outlet is threaded with a 5/8-18 size, designed for secure hose connections with O-ring seals. The pump comes with an integrated reservoir but does not include a reservoir cap or mounting hardware, so these components must be sourced separately if needed.
