Product Description and Features
This power steering pump features an aluminum housing that offers strength and efficient heat dissipation, contributing to longer service life. 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 inlet attachment is a hose barb type, and the outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 thread size, ensuring secure connections within the steering system. The pump is designed for use with a remote reservoir setup, but the reservoir and cap are not part of the package. The included sealing kit and instruction sheet assist with proper installation and sealing to prevent leaks.

Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 21-137 power steering pump, ensure the system is properly flushed to remove any contamination that could damage the new pump. The press-on pulley attachment requires careful handling to avoid shaft damage. Since the pulley is not included, inspect the original pulley for cracks or wear before reuse. Use the included sealing kit to ensure all hose connections are leak-free. Bleed the system thoroughly to eliminate air pockets, which can cause whining noises and reduce steering assist effectiveness.
