Product Description
The CARDONE 21-5449 Remanufactured Power Steering Pump is engineered to restore original steering performance with enhanced durability. CARDONE analyzes factory pump designs for weaknesses and applies upgrades where needed, resulting in a stronger and longer-lasting component.
Critical components such as campacs and spool valves undergo triple testing, while every pump receives precision-made HNBR seals, which resist heat and fluid breakdown better than standard materials. Precision-surfaced shafts prevent premature seal wear, extending pump lifespan.
Each pump is computer-tested for pressure output, fluid flow, bypass activation, steering effort, and noise levels to ensure consistent, dependable performance. As a remanufactured OE component, it maintains original fitment and compatibility.
CARDONE’s remanufacturing process reduces energy and material consumption by up to 80%, making this an environmentally friendly replacement option.
