Power Steering Pump: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION - POWER STEERING PUMP (2.0L ENGINE)





The hydraulic pressure for operation of the power steering gear is provided by a belt driven power steering pump. The constant flow rate and displacement vane-type power steering pump is located on the front corner of the engine.

No repair procedures are to be done on the internal components of the power steering pump. The only serviceable components of the power steering pump are the power steering pump pulley and the pump itself. The power steering fluid reservoir is serviced with the pump.

Because of unique shaft bearings, flow control levels or pump displacements, power steering pumps may be used only on specific vehicle applications. Be sure that all power steering pumps are only replaced with a pump that is the correct replacement for that specific application.
