Detailed Description of the Power Steering Pump

This Cardone Power Steering Pump 21-5878 is a remanufactured unit built with a cast iron housing to ensure long-lasting strength and resistance to wear. It features a remote reservoir design, which means the reservoir is mounted separately and is not included with this pump. The pump uses a hose barb inlet attachment and threaded outlet connections sized at 16x1.5, providing secure and leak-resistant fluid flow. The pulley attaches via a bolt-on method, but the pulley itself is not included, so reuse of the original pulley is necessary.
