Product Details
Cardone 96-5396 is a new power steering pump built from CARDONE’s long experience with reverse-engineered steering components. The design focuses on original-style fitment and consistent hydraulic output for vehicles that need reliable steering assist. This part uses an O-ring hose port, a threaded outlet with 14x1.5 thread size, a hose barb inlet attachment, and a bolt-on pulley attachment type. Reservoir is not included, and the unit is supplied with an in-line filter and seal kit for service preparation.
This part cross-references Subaru 34430FE040 and 34430FE041 for the same application. It is a direct-fit choice for drivers searching for a Subaru Impreza power steering pump replacement or a Saab 9-2X power steering pump replacement, including 2004-2007 Subaru Impreza and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X vehicles.
