Product Description
The CARDONE 21-5497 Remanufactured Power Steering Pump is engineered to restore factory steering performance while exceeding OE durability standards. Each original equipment design is evaluated for areas of improvement, and enhancements are incorporated where beneficial to extend part life and reliability.
Critical internal components—including campacs and spool valves—are triple-tested to ensure dependable operation under demanding conditions. The pump is assembled using 100% new O-rings and premium-grade HNBR seals, offering exceptional resistance to heat, fluid breakdown, and leakage. Precision-machined shafts prevent premature seal wear, helping extend pump service life.
Before distribution, each pump undergoes a full hydraulic efficiency test to validate pressure output, bypass performance, fluid flow, valve operation, steering effort, and noise compliance. As an OE-remanufactured component, it guarantees perfect fitment and straightforward installation.
With CARDONE’s eco-friendly remanufacturing process, raw material usage and energy consumption are reduced by up to 80%, making it a sustainable alternative to new units.
