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.
