Review on ๐Ÿ”ง A1 Cardone 21-5196 Power Steering Pump Without Reservoir: Remanufactured Quality for Efficient Steering by James Cruz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

When I bought it Great! Not so much now. Read!

So I bought this item and it lasted a year because my pump was noisy. I expected failure. Today I installed these along with a new suction seal. Suction seals are the weak link of this pump as they harden. Now it is very quiet and there is no foam from the intake air in my tank. Chinese bearing (shows Koyo in the picture?) in the main shaft, but I'll update when I go. Quality is quality and Chinese doesn't always mean bad. However, I had some issues with Chinese materials. The price was right, but I'm hoping to have a few years before I can easily do it again. Installation failed after 4 days. Shaft sealing ring is leaking. The warranty was 1 year but as I said it sat on the shelf for 14 months. However, Revain would have guaranteed it if I hadn't hesitated and installed it when I should have. Beautiful new 300th Subaru OEM pump is now in the car. I'm tired of fooling around and I haven't messed with Cardone. You may have helped, but I'm done. very bad. May or may not trust again. guilty
