Detailed Description
This Cardone remanufactured power steering pump is designed for 2008-2012 Honda Accord models and is built from an original equipment core for accurate fitment and system compatibility.

The result is a replacement pump intended to restore consistent steering assist while maintaining OE-style operation. Part number 21-5495 is a direct replacement for the listed Honda Accord applications.
This part cross-references Honda 56100R40A02 and 56100R40A03 for the same application.
