Detailed Product Description
This power steering pump features a robust cast iron housing that enhances durability under demanding driving conditions. The pump includes a reservoir and reservoir cap, eliminating the need for separate purchases and simplifying installation. The outlet uses a threaded attachment with a 16x1.5 thread size, while the inlet connects via a hose barb with an O-ring seal to prevent leaks. The pulley attachment is press-on style; however, the pulley itself is not included and must be reused or purchased separately. This pump is designed to restore hydraulic pressure and improve steering response in Cadillac DeVille, Eldorado, Seville, and Oldsmobile Aurora models.
