About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Line
The Cardone Power Steering Pump product line focuses on delivering reliable replacement pumps that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This line emphasizes durable materials such as aluminum housings and precise fitment to ensure compatibility with specific vehicle models. The 96-120 pump is part of this line, offering a balance of quality construction and practical design features tailored for Mercedes-Benz power steering systems.
Product Details and Specifications
This new Cardone power steering pump (part number 96-120) is built with an aluminum housing that provides durability and efficient heat dissipation during operation. It features a remote reservoir design, which means the reservoir is separate and not included with the pump. The pump uses a press-on pulley attachment type; note that the pulley is not included and must be reused or replaced separately. The inlet attachment is a quick connect type, while the outlet uses a threaded connection with a 16x1.5 thread size. Hose ports utilize O-ring seals to prevent leaks and maintain hydraulic pressure.
Common Applications and Problem Resolution
- Restores power assist in steering for Mercedes-Benz CL550, CLS550, E350, E550, GL450, GL550, ML350, ML500, ML550, R350, and S550
- Eliminates whining noises caused by worn or failing power steering pumps
- Resolves hard steering issues, especially when assist is only present at higher engine RPMs
- Addresses fluid flow problems due to debris in the flow control valve bore
- Corrects steering difficulties related to cracked or damaged pulleys
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 96-120 power steering pump, ensure the original pulley is inspected for damage, as the pulley is not included with this pump. Use the provided sealing kit to prevent leaks at connection points. The quick connect inlet and threaded outlet require proper alignment and torque to maintain system integrity. Since mounting hardware and reservoir are not included, reuse existing components or source replacements as needed. Regularly check power steering fluid levels and condition, as some OEMs recommend fluid changes even if no issues are apparent.

While specific warranty details are not provided here, Cardone typically offers limited warranties on their power steering components.
