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 precise fitment, using quality materials such as cast iron housings and standardized attachment types like hose barb inlets and threaded outlets. The 20-878 pump is part of this line, offering a reliable replacement option for vehicles requiring a power steering pump without a reservoir or pulley included.

Detailed Product Description

The Cardone 20-878 power steering pump is engineered with a cast iron housing for strength and longevity. It features a single power steering outlet with a 16x1.5 thread size and an O-ring type hose port to ensure a secure, leak-resistant connection. The inlet uses a hose barb attachment, while the outlet is threaded, facilitating straightforward installation. This pump does not include a pulley or reservoir, making it suitable for vehicles with remote or integrated reservoir systems. The press-on pulley attachment type requires a compatible pulley from the original setup or separately sourced.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

  • Restores power steering assist in Buick Century, Chevrolet Cavalier, and Pontiac Grand Am
  • Replaces failing pumps causing whining noises due to air or contamination
  • Solves hard steering issues in Jeep Cherokee and Oldsmobile Cutlass models
  • Addresses power steering fluid contamination problems by providing a clean, remanufactured pump
  • Improves steering response in Cadillac and Pontiac vehicles experiencing inconsistent assist

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Ensure the pulley is inspected or replaced separately, as it is not included with this pump
  • Bleed the power steering system thoroughly to remove air and prevent whining noises
  • Check hose connections for proper O-ring seals to avoid leaks
  • Use the included sealing kit and follow the instruction sheet for correct installation
  • Verify compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model before installation
