Product Details

This Cardone remanufactured power steering pump is designed for drivers replacing a worn or noisy pump on a 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro or 1998-2002 Pontiac Firebird. Part number 20-69849 uses an O-ring hose port, threaded outlet, hose barb inlet attachment, cast iron housing, and press-on pulley attachment type. The reservoir is included, and the unit is built to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets through hydraulic efficiency testing and component-level inspection.

Cardone’s remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, while maintaining OE-style fit and function. This part cross-references Chevrolet and Pontiac OE numbers 26068934 and 26068936 for the same application.

Common Steering Problems It Can Address

• Hard steering or reduced assist
• Whining or noisy pump operation
• Low or inconsistent hydraulic pressure
• Steering effort that changes with engine speed
• Leaks from worn seals or aged pump components

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, flush the steering system and bleed it thoroughly to remove contamination and trapped air. Use the OE-recommended fluid for the vehicle, and inspect the pulley, hoses, and steering components for wear or binding before returning the vehicle to service. If the original pulley has a loose fit or the shaft was damaged during removal, replace the pulley rather than reusing it.

For warranty protection, follow the required system flush procedure and use the correct fluid specification. If steering assist is still inconsistent after installation, inspect the flow control valve, hose condition, and steering gear for contamination or restriction.

Quality Assurance

Every unit is inspected and tested during remanufacturing, with critical internal parts verified for proper function and the completed pump checked for hydraulic performance and noise. Cardone’s process includes calibrated pressure relief valves and final assembly testing to help deliver reliable operation on Camaro and Firebird applications.
