Detailed Description

The Maval 96529M power steering pump is engineered for Mercedes-Benz C230 and Mercedes-Benz C220 vehicles equipped with a ZF pump, including 1996 C220 models without self-leveling suspension and 1997-2000 C230 models without a self-leveling device. This remanufactured unit is intended for drivers replacing a worn or noisy pump, correcting low steering assist, or restoring consistent hydraulic pressure in the steering system. Part number 96529M is a practical replacement when the original pump housing, seals, or internal components have reached the end of service life.

What It Helps Fix

• Heavy or inconsistent steering effort
• Whining or groaning from the power steering pump
• Fluid leakage at the pump outlet or inlet connections
• Loss of hydraulic pressure in the steering system
• Steering response issues on Mercedes-Benz C220 and C230 models

Installation Notes and Tips
