Its cast iron housing ensures structural strength and longevity under typical operating conditions. The pump includes a single outlet port with a threaded attachment type, sized at 16x1.5, which facilitates secure connection to the steering system. The inlet uses a hose barb fitting, complemented by an O-ring type hose port to maintain a tight seal and prevent leaks. This pump is designed with a remote reservoir configuration, meaning the reservoir is separate and not included with the pump. The pulley attachment is press-on style, but the pulley itself is not part of this unit. Mounting hardware is also not included, so ensure compatibility with your existing setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Common Issues Addressed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores power steering fluid pressure for smooth steering response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces worn or leaking power steering pumps in Ford Escort vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates whining or groaning noises caused by failing pumps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolves steering stiffness or difficulty turning the wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents fluid leaks from damaged or corroded pump housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Maval Remanufactured Power Steering Pump 97137M, verify that your Ford Escort’s existing pulley is compatible with the press-on attachment type, as the pulley is not included.
