Detailed Description

The Maval 96390M is a remanufactured power steering pump for Volkswagen Vanagon models from 1980 through 1991. It uses a remote reservoir setup and a single threaded outlet, making it a direct-fit service part for vehicles that rely on an external fluid reservoir. The aluminum housing helps maintain a factory-style fit and finish, while the hose barb inlet and 14x1.5 outlet thread size match the specified hydraulic connection points. This part number, 96390M, is also referenced for the same application under Cardone Reman 21-5703.

What It Helps Address

• Hard steering effort from a worn pump
• Whining or groaning noise from pump wear
• Hydraulic fluid leakage at the pump connections
• Loss of steering assist in Volkswagen Vanagon power steering systems
• Inconsistent steering feel caused by pump deterioration

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify that your Volkswagen Vanagon uses a remote reservoir power steering setup before ordering. Confirm the pulley style and mounting configuration on the vehicle, since the pulley is not included and this pump uses a press-on pulley attachment type. Check the outlet thread size, inlet connection, and hose port sealing style against the original unit to ensure proper installation. Always inspect hoses, clamps, and fluid condition during replacement to help prevent repeat steering system issues.

Quality Assurance

Maval remanufactured power steering pumps are rebuilt for service replacement use and application-specific fitment. The 96390M is listed for 1980-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon models and follows the specified pump configuration for those vehicles.
