The CARDONE 21-5254 Remanufactured Power Steering Pump is engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment unit. Each pump undergoes a detailed inspection to identify OE design weaknesses, and when applicable, enhanced components are incorporated to improve durability and service life.
Internal components such as campacs and spool valves are triple-tested to ensure consistent hydraulic performance. The pump features 100% new HNBR seals and O-rings, which resist high-temperature degradation far better than standard materials, preventing leaks and ensuring long-term reliability. Precision-machined shafts help eliminate premature seal wear, while the included calibrated pressure relief valve maintains ideal steering assist under all driving conditions.
Every unit is subjected to extensive computer testing—including flow, pressure, bypass function, valve operation, noise, and steering effort. CARDONE’s environmentally conscious remanufacturing process reduces material and energy consumption by up to 80% compared to producing a new pump.
Triple-tested campacs and spool valves for consistent and reliable steering performance.
