What It Does:

The power steering pump is the hydraulic heart of the power steering system. It generates pressurized fluid that assists the steering gear, significantly reducing the physical effort required to turn the steering wheel — especially at low speeds and during parking maneuvers. A worn or failing pump can cause symptoms including whining or groaning noises while turning, heavy or jerky steering feel, power steering fluid leaks, or a power steering warning light on the dashboard.

This pump is sold individually and is designed for straightforward installation: remove the drive belt and failed pump, install the new unit with proper alignment, reinstall the drive belt, refill the power steering fluid, and bleed the system by cycling the wheel lock-to-lock before final operation.
