Product Details and Specifications
This power steering pump features an aluminum housing that resists corrosion and heat, contributing to its durability. The pump uses an O-ring type hose port to ensure leak-free connections. It includes one power steering pump outlet with a 14x1.5 thread size and a threaded outlet attachment type, while the inlet uses a hose barb attachment for secure fluid flow. The pulley attaches via bolts, but the pulley itself is not included. The package contains the hydraulic pump, an instruction sheet, and a sealing kit to assist with installation. Note that mounting hardware and reservoir are not included.
Common Issues Addressed by This Power Steering Pump
- Hard or stiff steering in one or both directions
- Whining or unusual noises from the power steering pump
- Loss of power assist at idle or low engine RPM
- Leaks or fluid flow issues due to worn or damaged pump components
- Steering assist inconsistencies after pulley or pump replacement
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 96-5196 power steering pump, ensure the pulley is properly aligned and securely bolted, as the pulley is not included with the pump. Use the included sealing kit to prevent leaks at hose connections. Verify that the hose ports match the O-ring type fittings on your vehicle. Since the reservoir is remote and not included, confirm your existing reservoir is in good condition. Follow the instruction sheet carefully to avoid common issues such as debris in the flow control valve bore or cracked pulleys during removal.
