About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Product Line
The Cardone Power Steering Pump line focuses on delivering replacement pumps that meet or exceed OEM specifications for hydraulic power steering systems. This product line emphasizes durable materials such as cast iron housings and precise fitment for specific vehicle models. The 96-5879 pump is part of this line, engineered to restore proper steering assist in compatible Lexus and Toyota vehicles.
Detailed Product Description
This power steering pump features a cast iron housing that provides strength and resistance to wear. It is designed with a remote reservoir setup, which means the reservoir is mounted separately and not included with the pump. The inlet uses a hose barb attachment type, while the outlet is threaded with a 16x1.5 thread size, ensuring secure hose connections. The pulley attaches via a bolt-on method, but the pulley itself is not included, allowing for reuse of the original pulley if it remains in good condition. The package includes the hydraulic pump, an instruction sheet for installation guidance, and a sealing kit to ensure leak-free operation.

Installation Notes and Tips
- Verify compatibility with your Lexus Land Cruiser or Toyota LX450 before installation
- Use the included sealing kit to prevent leaks at hose connections
- Inspect the original pulley for damage; replace if cracked or worn
