Product Details and Features

The Cardone 96-5330 power steering pump features a robust aluminum housing that resists corrosion and wear. It comes with a press-on pulley, eliminating the need for separate pulley sourcing. The pump uses an O-ring type hose port to ensure leak-free connections and has a 14x1.5 threaded outlet for compatibility with the Forester’s power steering system. The inlet uses a hose barb attachment, providing secure fluid intake. While the pump supports a remote reservoir setup, the reservoir itself is not included. Mounting hardware is not part of the package, so existing hardware should be reused or sourced separately.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Restores power steering assist in Subaru Forester models
• Eliminates whining noises caused by worn or failing pumps
• Resolves hard steering issues, especially in one direction
• Addresses fluid flow problems due to debris in the flow control valve

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 96-5330 power steering pump, verify that the pulley is properly pressed onto the shaft to avoid damage. Use the included sealing kit to ensure leak-free connections at the hose ports. Since mounting hardware is not included, retain original bolts or acquire compatible replacements. Check the power steering fluid level and condition before and after installation, as some manufacturers recommend periodic fluid changes even if no issues are apparent.
