Maval 96482M Power Steering Pump

Remanufactured Power Steering Pump for Mercedes-Benz

The Maval 96482M remanufactured power steering pump is built for select Mercedes-Benz applications that use a LUK pump without a self-leveling device. It is a direct replacement for the original hydraulic steering pump on 1996 C220, 1997-2000 C230, and 1999 SLK230 models, with fitment-specific details that matter for proper steering performance.

This Maval Remanufactured Power Steering Pump line focuses on restoring hydraulic steering function with a remanufactured aluminum housing, one threaded outlet, an O-ring hose port, and a hose barb inlet. The pulley is not included, so the original pulley must be transferred using the proper pulley removal and installation tool.

• Remanufactured power steering pump for Mercedes-Benz steering systems
• Aluminum housing for OE-style fit and durability
• 1 threaded outlet with 16x1.5 outlet thread size
• O-ring hose port type and hose barb inlet attachment
• Press-on pulley attachment type; pulley not included
• No reservoir included and no remote reservoir

Detailed Application Information

Use the Maval 96482M when replacing a worn or leaking power steering pump on a 1996 Mercedes-Benz C220, 1997-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230, or 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230. This part cross-references Cardone Reman 21-5022 for the same application. It is also associated with interchange number 002-466-29-01. Verify that the vehicle uses the LUK pump without self-leveling device before installation.

What This Pump Helps Address

• Hard or heavy steering effort caused by a failing hydraulic pump
• Whining or groaning noise from the power steering system
• Fluid leakage at the pump housing, outlet, or hose connections
• Loss of steering assist from internal pump wear
• Pressure irregularities that affect steering response

Installation Notes and Tips

Transfer the pulley from the original pump with the correct pulley removal and installation tool before mounting the replacement unit. Confirm the outlet thread size, hose barb inlet, and O-ring hose port match the vehicle’s steering lines. Because this pump does not include a reservoir, reuse the existing reservoir arrangement if equipped on the application.

Quality Assurance

Maval remanufactured steering components are rebuilt for direct replacement use in specified vehicle applications. For this part, the confirmed fitment includes 1996 C220, 1997-2000 C230, and 1999 SLK230 models with the noted pump configuration.
