PUMP ASSY, VANE

OE‑grade Vane‑Type Power Steering Pump ?

This hydraulic unit keeps your steering light, quick, and stable. It builds pressure for the steering rack, so parking and low‑speed turns feel smooth. Ideal for daily use and towing, it restores factory steering effort and reduces noise when the old pump is worn.

Why this part is needed

Without steady hydraulic pressure, the wheel gets heavy, the rack wears faster, and fluid overheats. A fresh pump protects hoses, seals, and the steering gear, saving bigger repairs.

How it works

The engine belt spins a rotor with sliding vanes inside a crescent housing. As vanes sweep, they draw in fluid at low pressure and push it out at high pressure to the rack. An internal valve limits max pressure, and flow returns through the reservoir for constant assist.

If it’s failing or broken

• Hard steering, especially at idle
• Whine or groan when turning
• Leaking shaft seal or foamy fluid
• Metal glitter in fluid, burning smell

Driving like this risks rack damage, belt slip, and loss of assist. Replace promptly and use the correct fluid spec.
