Detailed Product Description

This remanufactured power steering pump features an aluminum housing that ensures strength and heat dissipation. The pump uses a hose barb inlet attachment and a threaded outlet with a 16x1.5 thread size, designed for secure and leak-resistant connections. The included sealing kit helps maintain system integrity during installation. While the pulley is not included, the pump supports a press-on pulley attachment type, allowing reuse of the original pulley if it remains in good condition. The pump comes with a reservoir but does not include a remote reservoir or mounting hardware, so these components must be sourced separately if needed.
