AAE New Hydraulic Power Steering Pumps are manufactured with OE quality components. Each unit undergoes thorough inspection and testing procedures to ensure OE operation and fitment. Prior to shipment, each unit is 100% tested in the USA and held to the strictest standards in the industry. To safeguard long life, as well as OE performance and operation, be sure to flush and fill the steering system with an OE approved power steering fluid.
Features & Benefits:
Comes as complete kit with new pump, pulley, return pipe, o-ring, and reservoir
Each unit is 100% hydraulically tested under load in the USA
It is highly recommended that the reservoir is changed along with the pump to prevent issues with pressure flow due to clogged reservoir screens. Clogged reservoir screens can starve replacement pump and lead to failure
Installation Tips
Replace Power Steering Pressure and Return Hoses when replacing the power steering pump. Steering hoses can degrade internally and cause contamination in the power steering system, which can damage the new power steering pump
Where applicable, replace the Power Steering Reservoir or clean the internal filter
Completely flush the system with an OE approved Power Steering Fluid prior to installation (the correct type of fluid is noted on the reservoir cap or in your owner's manual). Flushing the system is critical to prevent system contamination and failure
Consider replacing the Belt (found in the Belt Drive category). Modern belts wear gradually and become less efficient, which can put strain on the Power Steering Pump and other belt driven components
Install the pump and all supplied o-ring seals according to installation instructions, to prevent leaking
Consider installing a Power Steering Filter on the Power Steering Return Hose to prevent system contamination and extend the life of the power steering components
A replacement Power Steering Pump can whine or make noise until air is purged from the fluid. Bleed the system during installation to prevent noise and extend the life of the steering components
