Product Details and Specifications
This power steering pump features an aluminum housing that offers strength and efficient heat management. The pump’s outlet uses a 16x1.5 threaded connection, while the inlet attaches via a hose barb, facilitating straightforward installation. The pump includes a sealing kit and detailed instructions to assist with proper assembly.
