Product Details and Specifications
This power steering pump features an aluminum housing that provides strength and resistance to corrosion. The inlet uses a hose barb attachment type, while the outlet is threaded, allowing for secure and leak-free connections. Hose ports utilize O-ring seals to maintain hydraulic integrity. The pump is designed for vehicles equipped with a remote reservoir system; however, the reservoir and pulley are not included. The pulley attaches via a hub connection, and mounting hardware is not part of the package. Included with the pump are an instruction sheet and a sealing kit to assist with installation.
