Detailed Application Overview

The Maval 97206M is a remanufactured power steering pump for GM vehicles that require a non-reservoir pump assembly. It cross-references Cardone Reman 20-55982 for the same application. This part number is used in steering systems where the pump connects through a threaded outlet and O-ring hose port, making it a practical replacement for worn or leaking original units on Buick Allure, Buick LaCrosse, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Oldsmobile 98 models.

What This Pump Helps Address

• Hard steering effort caused by a weak or failing pump
• Whining or groaning noise from the power steering system
• Fluid leakage at the pump outlet or hose connection
• Loss of hydraulic steering assist at low speeds
• Steering response issues related to pump wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify reservoir style before ordering, since this pump is specified without a reservoir. Confirm the pulley setup before installation; the Buick LaCrosse application requires pulley transfer with the proper removal and installation tool. Match the threaded outlet, 16x1.5 outlet thread size, O-ring hose port, and hose barb inlet to the original system configuration before installation.

Quality Assurance

This remanufactured pump is built for the listed GM applications and is intended to replace the original power steering pump configuration. It also cross-references 10325212 for the same application.
