Detailed Product Description

This power steering pump is a new, direct replacement unit engineered for Chrysler Pacifica models. It features a robust aluminum housing that helps with heat management and long-term durability. The pump uses a press-on pulley attachment, though the pulley itself is not included, allowing for reuse of the original pulley if it remains in good condition. The remote reservoir design means the pump does not include a reservoir, which must be retained from the original system. The inlet and outlet connections are designed for secure hose barb and threaded fittings, respectively, with an O-ring seal on the hose port to prevent leaks. This pump is supplied with a sealing kit and installation instructions to assist with proper setup.
