- Eliminates whining noises caused by worn or contaminated pumps
- Resolves hard steering issues related to pump failure
- Addresses fluid contamination problems affecting steering performance

Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 21-659 power steering pump, ensure the system is properly flushed to remove air and contaminants that can cause whining noises or reduced assist. The press-on pulley requires careful handling to avoid damage during removal or installation. Since the pulley is not included, reuse the original pulley if it is in good condition or source a compatible replacement. The pump’s O-ring and sealing kit should be installed correctly to prevent leaks. Verify that the hose connections match the hose barb inlet and threaded outlet specifications for a secure fit.
