Detailed Description
Maval 9612M is a remanufactured power steering pump built for 1985-1988 Nissan Maxima models equipped with a 17 spline shaft. This unit is configured with a remote reservoir, cast iron housing, threaded outlet, and hose barb inlet to match the original steering system layout on the listed application.

The Maval remanufactured power steering pump line focuses on service replacement units for steering systems that require OE-style fitment and connection points. For Nissan Maxima power steering pump replacement, 9612M is the part number to verify against the vehicle’s shaft and hose connection style before installation.
What It Helps Fix
- Low or inconsistent power steering assist
- Noise from a worn or failing pump
- Fluid leakage at the pump body or outlet connections
- Steering effort that increases during turns or parking maneuvers
- Loss of hydraulic pressure in the steering system
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle has the correct 17 spline shaft before ordering or installing Maval 9612M. Confirm the remote reservoir layout, threaded outlet, hose barb inlet, and washer-style hose port match the original pump configuration on the 1985-1988 Nissan Maxima.
Mounting hardware is not included. The pulley is not included, so reuse or source the correct pulley as needed. Because this application has a documented history of misdiagnosis and parts cannibalization, inspect the valve and pressure port fittings carefully and confirm the pump is the actual failure point before replacement.
Quality Assurance
Maval remanufactured power steering pumps are rebuilt for steering-system service with attention to application-specific fitment and connection details. Part number 9612M should be matched to the vehicle’s original configuration for proper installation and operation.
