Remanufacturing Process

• Core Insepection – Ensures every part is free from structural damage
• Disassembly – All individual components are inspected and all wearable components such as seals and bearings are replaced
• Cleaning - Restores housing back to original surface
• Component Prep - All hard components are reconditioned and meet precise measurements and finishes
• Assembly - Assemblied by master craftsmen with years of specialized training including new o-rings and seal packs to ensure no cuts occur. All gears and bearings are properly lubricated.
• Quality Control - 100% of products are air and hydraulically vehicle simulated tested to ensure proper sealing, pressure, and that the unit is leak free.
• Final Part Prep - Painted with a high heat and element resistant paint for a showroom quality appearance
• Packaging - Ensures uniformity and security. Each part is internally packaged on an insert with a heavy duty plastic wrapping to provide stability during shipping

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
