Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 21-5429 power steering pump, ensure the system is properly bled to remove air, which can cause whining noises. Since the pulley is not included, reuse the original pulley or acquire a compatible press-on pulley separately. Verify that all hose connections use the correct O-ring seals to prevent leaks. Follow the included instruction sheet carefully for torque specifications and mounting procedures.
