Product Description and Features
This power steering pump features an aluminum housing for strength and heat dissipation. The inlet uses a hose barb attachment, while the outlet is threaded with a 5/8-18 size, ensuring compatibility with factory power steering hoses. The pump includes a reservoir but does not come with a pulley or mounting hardware, so these components must be sourced separately if needed. The press-on pulley attachment type requires careful handling during installation to avoid damage. The included sealing kit helps maintain a leak-free system.
