Product Details

What It Can Help Fix
- Hard steering or reduced steering assist
- Whining or pump noise during operation
- Steering effort that increases with engine speed changes
- Pressure loss caused by worn internal pump components
- Seal leakage at the pump housing or shaft area
Installation Notes
- Reservoir is not included; reuse the vehicle’s remote reservoir setup as required.
- Always install the in-line filter, use OE-specified fluid, and flush the system before operation.
- Inspect the steering gear, hoses, and pulley condition before installation.
- If the pulley fit is loose, replace the pulley rather than forcing it onto the shaft.
- After installation, bleed the system fully to remove trapped air and verify quiet operation.
Quality Assurance
Cardone builds this new power steering pump using reverse-engineering methods developed from decades of remanufacturing experience, then validates it with load testing and premium seal materials for reliable service.
