Common Steering Problems It Can Address

• Hard steering at low engine speed
• Whining noise from the power steering pump
• Loss of assist after pump wear or seal failure
• Fluid leakage at pump seals or fittings
• Noise and vibration caused by shaft or bushing wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley fit before installation, since a loose pulley bore usually indicates pulley damage and the pulley must be replaced. Flush the system if contamination is present, and inspect the steering gear, hoses, and flow control valve for binding or debris before installing the new pump. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s fluid service interval and use the correct power steering fluid for the Fusion or Milan application.

Cardone designs and tests this pump to match original equipment performance, using premium seals and load testing to help deliver reliable operation in daily driving conditions.
