Product Details
The Cardone 21-5179 is a remanufactured original equipment power steering pump built for direct-fit service on Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models. Cardone remanufacturing includes inspection of the original design, targeted upgrades where applicable, and testing of critical internal components to help deliver stable steering assist and long-term hydraulic performance. This part cross-references Ford and Mercury OE application 6E5Z3A696AB for the same application.
Common Steering Issues This Pump Can Address
- Whining or noisy power steering pump operation
- Hard steering at low engine speed
- Loss of assist after pump wear or internal leakage
- Fluid flow or pressure inconsistency in the steering system
- Seal-related leaks from aged pump components
Installation Notes
Reservoir is not included. OE fluid and a full system flush are required for warranty compliance on listed applications, and an in-line filter is specified for these vehicles. If the system contains air, bleed it thoroughly before road testing; foam or bubbles in the reservoir indicate trapped air. If the original pulley fit is loose, replace the pulley rather than reusing a damaged one. Check the steering gear and flow control valve for contamination if steering concerns remain after installation.
Quality Assurance
Every Cardone remanufactured pump undergoes hydraulic efficiency testing and final computer testing to verify pressure, bypass, fluid flow, valve operation, steering effort, and noise. Critical components are triple-tested, and the unit is assembled with new seals and calibrated pressure relief valves for reliable operation.
