About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Line
The Cardone Power Steering Pump product line focuses on delivering replacement pumps that meet or exceed original equipment specifications. This line emphasizes quality materials such as aluminum housings and includes necessary sealing kits and instructions to facilitate installation. The 96-05438 model is part of this line, engineered to restore proper steering function for select Jeep vehicles.
Product Details and Specifications
This power steering pump features an aluminum housing for strength and corrosion resistance. The hose port uses an O-ring type seal to ensure leak-free connections. The inlet attachment is a hose barb, while the outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 thread size, allowing secure fitting to the vehicle’s steering system. The pump is designed with a press-on pulley attachment, but note that the pulley and reservoir are not included. The package contains the hydraulic pump, an instruction sheet, and a sealing kit to assist with installation.
Common Applications and Problem Resolution
- Restores power assist in Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee steering systems
- Addresses whining noises caused by worn or failing pumps
- Resolves hard steering issues, especially when turning in one direction
- Eliminates intermittent assist problems related to pump performance
- Replaces pumps with damaged or cracked pulleys (pulley replacement may be required separately)
Installation Notes and Tips
Installation requires removal of the old pump and careful attention to the pulley attachment, as the press-on pulley is not included with this part. Inspect the pulley for damage before reuse. The sealing kit provided should be used to ensure proper sealing of hose connections. Since the reservoir is remote and not included, verify the condition of the existing reservoir and fluid levels. Follow the included instruction sheet for torque specifications and hose attachment procedures.
