Product Details and Specifications
This power steering pump features an aluminum housing that offers durability and efficient heat dissipation during operation. The pump uses a quick connect inlet attachment and a threaded outlet with a 16x1.5 thread size, ensuring secure and leak-free connections. The hose port type is O-ring, which helps maintain a tight seal under pressure. The pulley attachment is press-on style; however, the pulley itself is not included with this part. The pump is designed with a remote reservoir system, but the reservoir is sold separately. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse of existing hardware is necessary.
