Product Details and Specifications

This power steering pump features an aluminum housing that provides strength and efficient heat management. The pump includes a press-on pulley, eliminating the need to reuse the original pulley, which can reduce installation complexity. The inlet uses a hose barb attachment, while the outlet is threaded (16x1.5) with a seat-type hose port, ensuring secure connections to the vehicle's hydraulic system. Although the pump supports a remote reservoir setup, the reservoir itself is not included. Mounting hardware is not provided, so reusing existing hardware is necessary.

• Restores power steering assist in Toyota Camry and Solara models
• Eliminates whining noises caused by worn or failing pumps

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 21-5245 power steering pump, ensure the pulley is properly pressed onto the pump shaft. Verify all hose connections use the correct fittings: hose barb for the inlet and threaded outlet with a 16x1.5 thread size. Since mounting hardware is not included, retain original bolts and brackets. It is recommended to inspect and replace power steering fluid during installation to maintain system performance and longevity.
