Common Applications and Problem Resolution

Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 21-5992 power steering pump, ensure the pulley is properly aligned and securely bolted on, as the pulley is not included. Check for contamination in the pressure hose and flush the system if necessary to prevent premature pump wear. Use the included sealing kit to ensure leak-free connections at the hose ports. Since the pump is designed for remote reservoir setups, verify compatibility with your existing reservoir. Follow the instruction sheet carefully to avoid common issues such as air in the system, which can cause whining noises.
