Detailed Product Description

This power steering pump features a robust aluminum housing that resists corrosion and heat, contributing to its durability. The pump uses an O-ring type hose port to ensure leak-free connections and a press-on pulley attachment, although the pulley itself is not included. It is designed with a remote reservoir setup, which means the reservoir is separate and not included with the pump. The outlet thread size is 16x1.5, and the inlet uses a hose barb attachment, while the outlet is threaded, facilitating straightforward installation with compatible components.
