Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Loss of hydraulic pressure in the power steering system

• Poor steering assist on listed Chevrolet and GMC applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify reservoir-style inlet size, threaded outlet size, and three-hole mounting 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. Confirm the vehicle’s steering system configuration against the fitment list for 1990-1995 Chevrolet C1500 and GMC K1500 applications, as well as the other listed Chevrolet and GMC models, before replacement.

Quality Assurance

This is a new Maval steering component built for direct replacement use on the listed vehicles. Fitment is limited to the applications shown for Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs with reservoir-equipped power steering systems.
