Product Line Details: Cardone Power Steering Pump
The Cardone Power Steering Pump line focuses on remanufactured components that meet or exceed OEM specifications.

Detailed Product Description
This power steering pump is built with a cast iron housing for strength and longevity. It features a bolt-on pulley attachment type, allowing for secure installation of the pulley (sold separately). The pump uses a hose barb inlet and a threaded outlet with a 16x1.5 thread size, designed to connect seamlessly with the vehicle's power steering system. The remote reservoir design means the reservoir is mounted separately, and neither the reservoir nor its cap is included with this pump. The package includes the hydraulic pump itself, an instruction sheet for installation guidance, and a sealing kit to ensure leak-free connections.
