Product Details
The Maval Remanufactured Power Steering Pump line focuses on replacement hydraulic steering components restored for service in vehicle-specific applications. Part number 97168M is configured for Saturn L300 models from 2001 through 2005 and uses a remote reservoir layout, which separates fluid storage from the pump body for the correct system configuration. The cast iron housing supports the pump assembly, while the threaded outlet and O-ring port help match the original steering hose connection style.
This part cross-references Cardone Reman 20-901 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn Saturn L300 power steering pump, 97168M provides a direct-fit remanufactured option for the listed vehicles.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Loss of power steering assist
- Whining or groaning from the steering pump
- Fluid leakage at the pump outlet or hose connection
- Rough or inconsistent steering effort
- Failure caused by internal pump wear
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle’s reservoir style, outlet thread size, and hose connection type before installation. Because the pulley is not included and the pulley attachment type is press-on, reuse or replace the pulley as required for the application. Inspect the steering hoses, fluid condition, and belt drive components during service to help prevent repeat pump failure. Confirm the Saturn L300 model year and hydraulic steering configuration match the listed fitment before installation.
