Review on ๐Ÿ”ง A-Premium Power Steering Pump with Pulley for 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson & 2005-2010 Kia Sportage V6 2.7L - High Quality Replacement by Brian Fishel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The OEM has a vibrator belt that bolts from the pump to the motor. The new one doesn't have it.

Went like clockwork. lol like it was made to fit. As I said in the title, the OEM pump has a spot where a metal mount bolts from the pump to the motor. There is nothing in this replacement for this band to screw onto, rendering the vibration band unusable. If you are good at that then get this pump but if the other models are OEM Exact Fit then it must have this pump mount so look at your pump and then find a pump with the area where the belt is is attached. . I can only speak about this pump. It took 3, maybe 4 weeks and everything was fine. So if they're not from Factory Bad, they should be fine. I would buy it again if needed but hey I hope this is the last pump as my Tucson had over 155k when the pump started to fail but we used it anyway as I was about to buy a rack and pinion, but mechanic or technician i guess now anyway he told me it was a bad pump because it wasn't circulating in the tank. So before you order make sure it's a problem because he really worked like he needed a new rack & pinion so just being a pump was a blessing. Oh yeah 4 stars because the pump didn't have a place to bolt the vibrator belt on and I know engineers at car companies and when they're asked to add a part they do just that, add a part, that's it straps . , part added. Maybe it was only for certain years and certain engines. Our Hyundai Tucson is 2006 so I know Hyundai, Santa Fe or Kia use Sportage on their 2.4 liter engines but all cars have 2.4 liter Kia engine and so far all our Tucson have been tuned -Match parts with the same part number as Kia. , Sportage from the same year, so guess when Santa Fe will make Hyundai.

Pros
  • Power steering
Cons
  • No paint required
