About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Product Line
The Cardone Power Steering Pump line focuses on remanufactured components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This product line emphasizes durability and compatibility, providing a cost-effective solution for restoring power steering function in vehicles. The 21-5968 pump maintains the integrity of the original design with a robust aluminum housing and precise inlet and outlet fittings to ensure proper fluid flow and system pressure.
Detailed Product Description
This power steering pump is designed with a seat-type hose port and a single threaded outlet port sized at 14x1.5, facilitating secure connections within the steering system. The pump’s inlet uses a hose barb attachment, while the pulley mounts via a bolt-on method, allowing for straightforward installation when the correct pulley is sourced separately. The remote reservoir design means the pump does not include a reservoir or reservoir cap, which must be retained from the original system. This remanufactured unit is engineered to restore hydraulic pressure and assist steering effort in compatible BMW vehicles.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Restores power assist in BMW 530i, 540i, 740i, 740iL, 840Ci, and 850Ci models
- Resolves whining noises caused by air in the power steering system
- Addresses hard steering issues related to pump failure
- Replaces pumps with damaged or cracked pulleys (pulley not included)
- Improves steering response when assist is only present at higher engine RPMs
Installation Notes and Tips
- Ensure the original pulley is inspected for damage or replaced as needed since this pump does not include a pulley
- Bleed the power steering system thoroughly to remove air and prevent whining noises
- Verify hose connections match the seat-type inlet and threaded outlet specifications
- Mounting hardware is not included; retain or source appropriate fasteners for installation
- Check fluid condition and replace power steering fluid as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
