About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Line

The Cardone Power Steering Pump product line focuses on remanufactured components that meet or exceed original equipment specifications.

Product Details and Specifications

This power steering pump features an aluminum housing for durability and heat dissipation. The inlet uses a quick connect attachment type, while the outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 thread size, ensuring secure hose connections. The pump includes one outlet port with an O-ring hose port type to prevent leaks. The pulley attachment is press-on style; however, the pulley itself is not included. Mounting hardware and reservoir are not part of the package. The product condition is remanufactured, providing a cost-effective alternative to new pumps without compromising quality.

  • Verify all hose connections use the correct O-ring seals for a secure fit
