Detailed Product Description
This Cardone Power Steering Pump 21-5411 is engineered with a durable cast iron housing to withstand the demands of power steering systems in the Infiniti Q45. The pump uses a hose barb inlet attachment and a threaded outlet with a 12x1.25 thread size, designed for secure and leak-free connections. It features a remote reservoir setup, which means the reservoir is not included with this unit, allowing compatibility with existing reservoir configurations. The pulley is not included and attaches via a bolt-on method, so the original pulley can be reused if undamaged. This remanufactured pump comes with a sealing kit and an instruction sheet to assist with installation.
