Product Description
The CARDONE 20-7256 Remanufactured Power Steering Pump is engineered to deliver reliable hydraulic performance, restoring smooth and consistent steering assist to a wide range of Ford, Mercury, and Mazda vehicles. Each unit begins with an in-depth evaluation of the original design, allowing CARDONE to implement improvements that enhance durability beyond OEM specifications.
Critical internal components—including campacs, spool valves, and pressure relief valves—are triple-tested to ensure consistent steering response and long-term reliability. Every pump undergoes a computerized hydraulic efficiency test to verify proper pressure output, fluid flow, valve operation, steering effort, and noise performance.
All seals are replaced with brand-new O-rings and high-temperature HNBR sealing material, which resists heat breakdown far better than conventional seal compounds. Precision-surfaced shafts prevent premature wear, extending pump service life. As an OE remanufactured unit, the 20-7256 ensures perfect fitment and seamless installation.
Environmentally responsible remanufacturing reduces raw material and energy usage by up to 80% compared to producing a new power steering pump.
