- Whining or unusual noises from the power steering system
- Loss of power assist during steering maneuvers
- Leaks or fluid contamination due to worn pump components
- Inconsistent steering response or fluid pressure problems
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 96-5382 power steering pump, ensure the original pulley is inspected for damage or replaced if necessary, as the pulley is not included. Use the provided sealing kit to prevent leaks at hose connections, and verify that the O-ring ports are properly seated. Since the pump features a remote reservoir design, confirm the reservoir is compatible and in good condition. Bleed the power steering system thoroughly after installation to avoid air pockets and ensure smooth operation.
