Product Details and Specifications

This pump is designed for vehicles with a remote reservoir system; however, the reservoir and cap are not part of the package. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse existing components or source separately.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Restores power assist in Cadillac CTS steering systems
• Eliminates whining noises caused by worn or failing pumps
• Addresses hard steering issues related to pump failure
• Replaces pumps with damaged or cracked pulleys (pulley replacement required separately)
• Improves steering response when assist is only present at higher engine RPMs

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 21-5452 power steering pump, ensure the pulley is properly aligned and pressed on, as the pulley is not included. Check for debris in the flow control valve bore to prevent restricted fluid flow. Bleed the system thoroughly to remove air and avoid whining noises. Use the included sealing kit to ensure leak-free connections. Since mounting hardware is not included, retain original bolts or acquire compatible replacements.
