Product Details and Specifications

This power steering pump features a 0.71-inch outlet ID size and uses a bolt-on pulley attachment type, although the pulley itself is not included. The inlet attachment is a hose barb type, and the outlet attachment is bolt-on with a single outlet port. The pump is designed with a remote reservoir system, so the reservoir is not part of the package. Mounting hardware is not included, but the package contains the hydraulic pump, an instruction sheet, and a sealing kit to assist with installation.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Restores power assist in Acura EL and Honda Civic steering systems
• Eliminates whining noises caused by worn or failing pumps
• Addresses hard steering issues, especially at low engine RPM
• Resolves fluid flow problems due to debris in the flow control valve bore
• Replaces pumps with damaged or cracked pulleys (pulley replacement required separately)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 21-5066 power steering pump, ensure the system is properly bled to remove air, which can cause whining noises. Verify that the pulley is intact and compatible, as this pump does not include a pulley. Use the included sealing kit to prevent leaks and follow the instruction sheet carefully. Since mounting hardware is not included, retain original bolts or source appropriate replacements. Regularly check power steering fluid levels and condition, as some OEMs recommend fluid changes even if no issues are apparent.

This remanufactured power steering pump undergoes rigorous testing to meet performance standards. Cardone provides a warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, ensuring reliability for Acura and Honda Civic, CR-V, and EL owners.
