Product Details
Maval’s remanufactured power steering pump line focuses on hydraulic steering components restored for vehicle-specific fitment. For the 1992-1997 Lexus SC400, Maval notes that elevated engine-compartment temperatures can contribute to seal breakdown and fluid varnishing throughout the steering system. This pump is remanufactured with high-temperature seals to address that operating environment, and Maval recommends a complete steering-system replacement to reduce contamination-related repeat failures. The part number 96217M is also listed under interchange references 5230 and 44320-24050.
Common Steering Issues This Part Can Address
- Whining or groaning from the power steering pump
- Heavy or inconsistent steering effort
- Hydraulic fluid contamination from varnishing in the steering system
- Leak-related loss of steering assist
- Pump wear in high-temperature Lexus SC400 applications
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 1992-1997 Lexus SC400, N/A. Refer to instruction sheet packet 656080 before installation. Because contamination can spread through the hydraulic system, inspect the steering reservoir, hoses, and related components before installing the replacement pump. If the original unit was equipped with an electronic solenoid, confirm the replacement matches that configuration.
Quality Assurance
Maval remanufactures this power steering pump with application-specific sealing materials intended for the thermal demands of the Lexus SC400 steering system. Verify part number 96217M against the vehicle’s original pump and interchange references before installation.
