Product Details
Maval’s Remanufactured Power Steering Pump line focuses on OE-style replacement coverage for hydraulic steering systems. Part number 96603M is listed for 2003-2006 Kia Sorento models and is intended for vehicles using the matching factory pump configuration. The unit is supplied without a reservoir, so the original reservoir setup must be retained or transferred as required by the vehicle configuration. This part also cross-references Cardone Reman 21-5393 for the same application.
For Kia Sorento power steering pump replacement, 96603M is the correct fitment reference when replacing a failed pump on 2003, 2004, 2005, or 2006 models. The original pump sensor must be transferred to the replacement pump, and the sensor and related components must be installed correctly to avoid high-pressure damage to the shaft seal.
Common Issues This Part Can Address
- Loss of power steering assist
- Whining or groaning noise from the steering pump
- Fluid leakage from the pump assembly
- Heavy or inconsistent steering effort
- Pressure-related seal failure in the original pump
Installation Notes and Tips
- Fits 2003-2006 Kia Sorento, N/A.
- Transfer the sensor from the original pump to the replacement pump before operation.
- Verify all sensor components are seated and connected correctly to prevent shaft seal failure from excessive pressure.
- Confirm pulley alignment and belt routing during installation.
- Inspect the steering fluid condition and flush the system if contamination is present.
Quality Assurance
This Maval remanufactured power steering pump is built as a service replacement for the original Kia Sorento pump and is identified by part number 96603M. Fitment and component transfer requirements should be verified against the vehicle’s original steering system before installation.
