Detailed Product Description

This remanufactured power steering pump features an aluminum housing that offers strength and efficient heat management. The pump includes a hydraulic pump, sealing kit, and an instruction sheet to assist with installation. It uses an O-ring type hose port and a hose barb inlet attachment, which are common in the specified vehicle models. The outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 size, designed for a secure and leak-free connection. The pulley attachment is press-on style, but the pulley itself is not included, so the original pulley must be reused or replaced separately. The pump comes with a reservoir but does not include a reservoir cap or mounting hardware, so these components should be retained from the original assembly or sourced separately.
