Detailed Product Description

This Cardone power steering pump features an aluminum housing that ensures strength while helping dissipate heat generated during operation. The pump includes a press-on pulley, which is designed for easy installation and secure fitment.

Although the pump is remanufactured, it comes with a sealing kit and instruction sheet to assist with proper installation. Note that mounting hardware and reservoir are not included, but the pump is compatible with remote reservoir setups commonly found on Toyota Camry models.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 21-4050 power steering pump, ensure the pulley is properly pressed onto the shaft to avoid damage. Check for air in the system if a whining noise persists after installation, as trapped air can cause pump noise. Use the included sealing kit to prevent leaks and follow the instruction sheet carefully. It is recommended to inspect and, if necessary, replace power steering fluid during installation to maintain system performance. Mounting hardware is not included, so retain original bolts or source compatible replacements.
