Cardone Power Steering Pump Product Line Details

The Cardone Power Steering Pump line focuses on remanufactured components that meet or exceed original equipment specifications. This product line emphasizes durability and reliable hydraulic performance, featuring cast iron housings and precise attachment types such as hose barb inlets and threaded outlets. The 20-8735 pump is part of this line, providing a cost-effective replacement option for power steering systems on Chevrolet and GMC vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

This Cardone power steering pump (part number 20-8735) is designed to replace the original pump in various Chevrolet and GMC models, including the Blazer, C1500 Suburban, K2500, and Yukon. The pump features a cast iron housing for strength and longevity, and it uses an O-ring type hose port to ensure a tight seal and prevent leaks. The outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 size, and the inlet uses a hose barb attachment for secure hose connection. The pump includes a reservoir but does not come with a pulley or mounting hardware, so those components must be reused or purchased separately. The pulley attachment is press-on style, which is common for these vehicle applications.
