Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 96-5168 power steering pump, ensure the pulley is compatible and properly mounted using the bolt-on attachment. Since mounting hardware and pulley are not included, reuse existing components if they are in good condition or source replacements separately. Follow the included instruction sheet carefully to avoid damage to the pump shaft or housing. Check for debris in the flow control valve bore before installation to prevent flow restrictions. Regularly inspect and maintain power steering fluid levels, even if no issues are apparent, as recommended by some OEM manufacturers.
