Detailed Description

This Maval power steering pump is engineered for Ford Focus and Ford Transit Connect models listed in the fitment data. It uses a threaded outlet and O-ring hose port design, with a hose-barb inlet, matching the connection style used in the original steering system. The cast iron housing supports a service replacement built for hydraulic steering applications, and the pump is supplied without a pulley so the original pulley must be transferred during installation.

This part cross-references Cardone Reman 20-326 for the same application. The 97160M part number is also associated with OE reference 5S4Z-3A674-A.

• Replacing a noisy, worn, or leaking power steering pump
