Detailed Product Description
This Cardone power steering pump features a durable cast iron housing designed to withstand the rigors of daily driving. The pump uses a press-on pulley attachment type, though the pulley itself is not included, allowing for reuse of the original pulley if it remains in good condition.

The pump supports a remote reservoir setup, but the reservoir and cap are not included in the package. The included sealing kit and instruction sheet assist with proper installation and sealing to prevent leaks.
