Detailed Product Description
This Cardone power steering pump features an aluminum housing that provides strength and efficient heat dissipation during operation.

The pump is designed with a remote reservoir setup, so the reservoir is not part of the package. The outlet thread size is 16x1.5 with a threaded outlet attachment, and the inlet uses a hose barb connection, ensuring compatibility with factory power steering lines.
