Detailed Description

Built for steering system service, this PWR power steering pump is engineered for direct replacement use on 2001-2004 Ford Escape and 2001-2004 Mazda Tribute applications, with 2004 Ford Escape coverage limited to vehicles built through 12/12/2003. The PWR 60-5048P is designed with a 12 mm threaded shaft, 17.9 mm inlet diameter, 16 mm outlet diameter, and flare-style hose port connection. Because the pulley is included and the reservoir is not, it is suited for repairs where the existing reservoir is retained.

This part cross-references Gates 5737 for the same application. It also cross-references 6L8Z3A696B for select OE-style replacement use.

Installation Notes

Verify pulley style, hose port type, and shaft/thread dimensions before installation. Inspect the steering system for contamination, hose wear, and belt condition during replacement. Confirm the vehicle build date for 2004 Ford Escape applications, since coverage applies only through 12/12/2003.
