Product Details
Cardone Power Steering Pump 96-74326 is designed for drivers needing a direct replacement for a worn or noisy hydraulic pump on a Ford Focus or Ford Transit Connect. The pump uses an O-ring hose port, a threaded outlet, and a hose barb inlet, with a 16x1.5 outlet thread size. This unit includes the reservoir and sealing kit, and it is supplied as a new component rather than a remanufactured assembly.
This part cross-references Ford 6S4Z3A674A and 7S4Z3A674A for the same application. It is a practical choice when servicing steering systems on 2006-2011 Ford Focus and 2010-2011 Ford Transit Connect models listed below.
What It Helps Fix
- Hard steering at low engine speed
- Whining or pump noise during operation
- Loss of power steering assist
- Steering vibration caused by pump wear
- Seal leakage from an aging hydraulic pump
