What It Helps Address

• Hard steering caused by a failing power steering pump
• Whining or groaning noises from the steering system
• Fluid leakage at the pump housing or hose connections
• Loss of hydraulic pressure in the power steering circuit
• Steering effort that becomes inconsistent during turns

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify reservoir configuration, pulley style, and outlet thread size before installation. This pump uses a press-on pulley attachment type and does not include a pulley, so the existing pulley must match the application or be transferred as required. Confirm hose connection style, including the threaded outlet and hose barb inlet, against the original unit before assembly. Always inspect the belt, hoses, and steering fluid condition when replacing the pump.

Quality Assurance

Maval remanufactured steering components are rebuilt for direct replacement use in the listed applications. This part is engineered to match the specified fitment and connection style for compatible Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick, and Saturn vehicles.
