Product Details and Specifications
This power steering pump features an aluminum housing for durability and heat dissipation. It uses a hose barb inlet attachment and a threaded outlet with a 16x1.5 thread size, designed to fit securely with O-ring type hose ports. The pump includes a hydraulic pump unit, an instruction sheet for installation guidance, and a sealing kit to ensure leak-free connections. The pulley is bolt-on style but is not included, so the original pulley must be reused or replaced separately.
