Review on πŸ”§ A1 Cardone 21-5196 Power Steering Pump Without Reservoir: Remanufactured Quality for Efficient Steering by Lakshmi Pennington

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Useless if you don't know what you're doing

The pump has an approved label and new paintwork. It looks like a new bearing (cheaper than the factory bearing). But after installing the pump there was no pressure. I removed the pressure line and twisted it with a drill and liquid flowed through it. I assumed it was my rack or something but I switched the old pump back on and it worked but with the previous issues. I knew the pump was the problem. I know about hydraulics and assumed that either the spring or the valve was missing. In one of the passages I found a safety valve. I removed the valve, reinstalled it and checked it with a drill and socket wrench. The pressure was there immediately and it worked. Permanently installed. If you didn't know much about these things you would return it. But the price was 40% lower than local stores so you get what you pay for. I 100% believe he wasn't tested, he wouldn't have gone that route for nothing.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something
