Product Details and Specifications
This power steering pump features a cast iron housing for strength and longevity.

The pump uses an O-ring type hose port and has a 16x1.5 threaded outlet for secure fluid connections. The inlet uses a hose barb attachment, while the outlet is threaded, facilitating straightforward integration with existing steering systems. The reservoir is included with the pump, but the pulley is not included and attaches via a press-on method. Mounting hardware is not provided, so reusing existing hardware or sourcing separately is necessary.
