About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Line
The Cardone Power Steering Pump product line focuses on remanufactured components that meet or exceed original equipment specifications. This line is designed to provide reliable hydraulic performance and long service life, making it a practical replacement option for vehicles like the Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire. Each pump undergoes thorough testing and includes necessary sealing kits to facilitate proper installation.
Product Details and Specifications
This power steering pump features a durable cast iron housing that withstands the rigors of daily driving. The inlet uses a hose barb attachment type, while the outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 size, ensuring compatibility with factory power steering lines. 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 allows for straightforward pulley installation on the pump shaft. The pump is designed without an e-waste component and includes an instruction sheet to assist with installation.
Common Applications and Problem Solving
- Restores power steering assist in Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire models
- Eliminates whining noises caused by worn or failing pumps
- Resolves hard steering issues, especially when turning in one direction
- Addresses fluid flow problems due to debris in the flow control valve bore
- Improves steering response when original pump input shaft is damaged or enlarged
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 20-70888 power steering pump, ensure the pulley is compatible and properly pressed onto the pump shaft, as the pulley is not included. Use the provided sealing kit to prevent leaks and follow the included instruction sheet carefully. Check power steering fluid levels and consider fluid replacement even if no issues are apparent, as recommended by some OEM manufacturers. Verify hose connections with the O-ring ports for a secure fit. Mounting hardware is not included, so retain or replace existing hardware as needed.
