About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Line
The Cardone Power Steering Pump product line focuses on delivering reliable replacement pumps that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This line emphasizes quality materials such as aluminum housings and precise fitment to ensure compatibility and long service life. The 96-5368 pump is part of this line, offering a direct replacement solution for select Lexus models with remote reservoir systems.
Product Details and Specifications
This power steering pump features an aluminum housing that provides strength and efficient heat dissipation, essential for maintaining hydraulic fluid integrity. The pump uses an O-ring type hose port to ensure a secure, leak-free connection. It is designed with a bolt-on pulley attachment, although the pulley itself is not included. The inlet uses a hose barb fitting, while the outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 size, matching OEM configurations. The package includes the hydraulic pump, a sealing kit, and an instruction sheet to assist with installation.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Restores power assist in Lexus GS400, GS430, and SC430 steering systems
- Eliminates whining noises caused by worn or failing pumps
- Resolves hard steering or inconsistent assist at idle or low RPM
- Addresses fluid flow issues due to debris in the flow control valve bore
- Replaces pumps with damaged or cracked pulleys (pulley replacement required separately)
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the pulley is inspected or replaced as needed since this pump does not include a pulley. Use the included sealing kit to prevent leaks at hose connections. Verify that the hose port O-rings are properly seated during installation. This pump is designed for vehicles with a remote reservoir; confirm reservoir compatibility before installation. Follow the instruction sheet carefully to avoid damage to the pump shaft or mounting points.
