Product Details

Cardone Power Steering Pump 96-273 is engineered for Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable power steering systems that use a remote reservoir setup. The pump is supplied as a hydraulic pump with an instruction sheet and sealing kit, and it is designed to deliver consistent hydraulic pressure for smooth steering response. This part cross-references Ford and Mercury OE numbers such as 1F1Z3A674BA and 6F9Z3A696A for the same application.

Fits 1996-2005 Ford Taurus, N/A. Fits 1996-2005 Mercury Sable, N/A. Fits 1996-2001 Ford Sable, N/A. The Cardone 96-273 is a direct-fit power steering pump choice for these vehicles when the original unit uses a remote reservoir configuration.

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. The design focus on bushing alignment and seal durability supports consistent performance in Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable steering systems.
