Product Details
The Cardone Power Steering Pump line is remanufactured with inspection and testing focused on restoring dependable hydraulic performance. Part number 21-5494 is built from an original design that has been reviewed for improvement where applicable, and the remanufacturing process is intended to deliver a durable replacement for Honda steering systems. This part cross-references Honda OE numbers such as 56110R70A11 and 56110R70A12 for the same application.
Compatible With 2008-2012 Honda Accord, N/A; 2012 Honda Crosstour, N/A; 2010-2011 Honda Accord Crosstour, N/A; and 2009-2011 Honda Pilot, N/A. Use Honda/Acura power steering fluid, flush the system before installation, and install an in-line filter where recommended to help protect the replacement pump and steering components.
Common Steering Problems This Pump Addresses
- Low or inconsistent power steering assist
- Whining noise from the power steering pump
- Hard steering after pump replacement
- Fluid leakage from worn seals or O-rings
- Poor hydraulic pressure or bypass control
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm pulley fit before installation, since a worn original pulley may not seat correctly on the replacement shaft. If steering assist only returns at higher engine speed, inspect the steering system for binding and check for contamination in the flow control valve area. If hard steering remains in one direction after replacement, inspect the steering unit and flush the system thoroughly. For Honda Accord, Honda Crosstour, Honda Accord Crosstour, and Honda Pilot applications, use the specified Honda/Acura fluid and follow OE service intervals.
Quality Assurance
Every Cardone 21-5494 pump undergoes hydraulic efficiency testing and final computer testing to verify pressure, flow, valve function, steering effort, and noise. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
