About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Line
The Cardone Power Steering Pump line focuses on delivering dependable replacement pumps that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This product line emphasizes quality materials such as aluminum housings and includes essential components like pulleys and sealing kits to facilitate installation. The 96-5398 pump is part of this line, engineered to restore proper steering assist and maintain hydraulic system integrity in select Mitsubishi models.
Product Details and Features
This power steering pump features an aluminum housing that offers strength and effective heat dissipation, helping to extend pump life. The included press-on pulley simplifies installation by matching the original equipment design. The pump uses an O-ring type hose port for secure fluid connections, with a hose barb inlet and threaded outlet attachment to fit factory steering systems. While the remote reservoir is supported, the reservoir itself and cap are not included, so these components must be sourced separately if needed.
Common Applications and Problem Resolution
- Restores power assist in Mitsubishi Eclipse, Endeavor, and Galant models
- Eliminates whining noises caused by worn or failing pumps
- Resolves hard steering issues, especially when turning in one direction
- Addresses fluid flow problems due to debris in the flow control valve bore
- Replaces pumps with damaged or cracked pulleys to ensure proper function
Installation Notes and Tips
Installation requires removal of the original pump and pulley; note that pulleys may crack if removed improperly. The included press-on pulley should be installed carefully to avoid shaft damage. Ensure all sealing components from the kit are used to prevent leaks. Since mounting hardware is not included, retain original bolts or source replacements. It is recommended to check and replace power steering fluid during installation, even if no issues are apparent, to maintain system performance.
