Product Details
Cardone’s New Power Steering Pump line is built from reverse-engineered OE specifications and validated through testing to deliver original-style fit and function. The 96-329 uses a threaded outlet, hose barb inlet attachment, and a 14x1.5 outlet thread size, making it a direct replacement choice for Subaru Forester and Subaru Impreza steering systems that use a remote reservoir setup. This part cross-references Subaru 34430SA020 for the same application.
Common Steering Problems This Pump Can Address
- Hard steering or reduced assist at low engine speed
- Whining or noisy power steering pump operation
- Uneven steering assist after pump replacement
- Seal leakage from worn or contaminated pump components
- Noise and vibration caused by shaft or bushing wear
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2006-2008 Subaru Forester, N/A, and 2006-2007 Subaru Impreza, N/A. Reservoir is not included; an in-line filter and seal kit are included. Always install the filter, use OE-specified fluid, and flush the system before operation to help prevent contamination-related issues. If the original pulley has a loose fit after removal, inspect the pulley and shaft carefully, since a damaged pulley bore may require replacement. If steering assist only appears when engine speed increases, check for contamination in the flow control valve and verify that the steering gear and related components are not binding.
Quality Assurance
This pump is manufactured with premium-grade seals, precise internal alignment, and computer load testing to support consistent operation under real driving conditions. Cardone’s engineering approach is based on OE reverse engineering and validation, helping the 96-329 deliver the fit and performance expected for Subaru power steering repair.
