Detailed Product Description

This Cardone Power Steering Pump 20-7987 is built with a cast iron housing to provide strength and resistance to wear. It features a single power steering outlet with a 16x1.5 threaded connection and an inlet designed for hose barb attachment, ensuring compatibility with factory steering systems. The pump comes with a reservoir but does not include a pulley or mounting hardware, so these components must be sourced separately if needed.
