About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Line
The Cardone Power Steering Pump product line focuses on delivering dependable replacement pumps that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This line is tailored to provide precise fitment and reliable hydraulic performance for a range of vehicles.

Detailed Product Description
This Cardone power steering pump 96-282 features an aluminum housing that provides strength and effective heat dissipation, essential for maintaining pump longevity under heavy use. The Teflon hose ports resist corrosion and wear, helping to maintain fluid integrity. The pump includes a press-on pulley attachment type, though the pulley itself is not included, allowing for reuse of the original pulley if it remains in good condition. The unit is designed with a remote reservoir setup, which means the reservoir is separate and not included with this pump. Installation hardware is not included, but the package contains a sealing kit and detailed instructions to assist with proper installation.
