  • Fluid bypass issues that affect steering assist
  • Leaks at worn seals or O-rings

Installation Notes

Before installation, inspect the power steering system for contamination and wear. For warranty purposes, Cardone recommends installing an in-line filter, using the suggested OE fluid, and flushing the system. This is especially important on older Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar applications where debris can shorten component life. Verify hose port thread sizes and fitment details before assembly.

Each Cardone remanufactured control valve is computer tested to verify pressure, bypass, fluid flow, valve operation, steering effort, and noise. The unit is built to meet or exceed OEM performance and is supplied with new OE-style seals and O-rings for dependable sealing.
