Detailed Product Description
This remanufactured power steering pump features an aluminum housing that helps reduce weight while providing strength and heat dissipation.

The inlet connection is a hose barb type, and the outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 size, ensuring secure and leak-resistant hose connections. The included sealing kit and instruction sheet assist with proper installation. This pump does not include a reservoir or mounting hardware, so those components must be reused or sourced separately.
