Product Description

Building on decades of experience using reverse engineering to remanufacture power steering products, CARDONE engineers have meticulously designed and tested our CARDONE New Power Steering Pumps to fit and perform like the original. Each unit is supplied with premium high-temperature seals for reliability you can count on.


  • Rigorous computer load testing ensures optimal performance and durability by incorporating real-world parameters during the test cycle.
  • Manufactured with premium grade, high-temperature seals for added durability under all driving conditions.
  • Precise bushing alignment prevents premature shaft and seal wear, significantly reducing noise and vibration.
  • Meets or exceeds O.E. performance.

    • Product & Technical

    Why do I still have hard steering in one direction after I replaced the pump?
    The problem is most likely in the steering unit−the pump does not know left from right. Check for binding steering components and repair as necessary.


    Why is the pump making a whining noise all of the time?
    A whining pump is usually caused by air in the power steering system. Inspect the reservoir for proper fluid level. If fluid has foam or air bubbles present, air has entered the system or has not been properly bled (ensure all hoses/clamps are tight). Some systems require special vacuum bleeding procedures.


    I bought a replacement power steering pump and my original pulley has a loose fit on the replacement pump shaft. What should I do?
    The pulley may have cracked upon removal. If the shaft was mushroomed before removing the pulley, it has now enlarged the bore in the pulley. The pulley must be replaced.


    Should I ever change my fluid, even though nothing is wrong?
    Yes. Some O.E. manufacturers recommend that power steering fluid be changed at 50,000 miles and continue at that interval. Just like engine oil, power steering fluid will eventually break down and carry suspended contaminants from component wear and breakdown. Follow your vehicle's O.E. manufacturer's recommendations on fluid change intervals.


    I only have assist when increasing engine rpm after installing the replacement pump. What's causing this?
    There may be debris in the flow control valve bore not allowing the flow control valve to move as it should. (Valve and bore are located behind the high pressure fitting on the pump). The system must be checked for contamination and flushed.
