Cardone Power Steering Pump Product Line Details

The Cardone Power Steering Pump line focuses on remanufactured components engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. This product line emphasizes durability and precise fitment, using quality materials such as cast iron housings and reliable attachment types like hose barb inlets and threaded outlets. The 20-7956 pump is part of this line, offering a balance of performance and value for Chevrolet and GMC full-size vans.

Product Description and Features

This power steering pump features a cast iron housing for strength and longevity. It uses an O-ring type hose port to ensure leak-free connections and a threaded outlet attachment sized at 16x1.5 for compatibility with factory steering systems. The inlet attachment is a hose barb type, facilitating straightforward installation. The pump includes a power steering reservoir but does not come with a pulley or mounting hardware, so those components must be sourced separately. The pulley attachment is press-on style, which is common for these vehicle models.
