Review on Cardone Select 96 5196 Steering Reservoir by Matthew Guiney

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cheap copy of OEM part

So with this pump you get a remanufactured pump that is less expensive than an OEM remanufactured pump. That doesn't bode well. This pump also lacks a rear pressure sensor, which I found to be a shame (and isn't available as a separate part). I installed it in my Outback and it was easy to tell that it was louder than the OEM model once I bled it properly. I decided to return it and go for the OEM, which is $200 more. Much happier with the quality and even happier with the quietness.

Pros
  • Precise bushing alignment prevents premature shaft and seal wear and significantly reduces noise and vibration
Cons
  • I don't remember
