Detailed Product Description

This remanufactured power steering pump features a durable cast iron and aluminum housing that withstands the rigors of daily driving. It is designed with a press-on pulley attachment type, although the pulley itself is not included, allowing for reuse of the original pulley if it remains in good condition. The pump’s inlet uses a hose barb attachment, while the outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 size, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection to the vehicle’s power steering system. The seat-type hose port further supports proper hose fitment. This pump is compatible with remote reservoirs, but neither the reservoir nor the reservoir cap is included in the package. The included sealing kit and instruction sheet assist with installation and ensure a proper seal to prevent leaks.
