When a worn pump leaves the wheel heavy or noisy, the Atlantic Automotive Engineering (AAE) Power Steering Pump 6383N is a new hydraulic unit designed to supply the pressurized fluid your steering system relies on, and AAE builds it as a direct replacement for a failed OEM unit. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2000 Ford Explorer, 1998-2006 Ford Ranger and 2000-2007 Ford Taurus. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
- Tested in the USA: every unit is 100% hydraulically tested under load in the USA before it ships.
- OE-quality build: made with OE-quality components and inspected to confirm OE operation and fitment. AAE engineers these pumps to match or surpass OE performance, fit and function.
- What's in the box: the reservoir is included and the pulley is not. Transfer or replace the pulley as directed by the service procedure.
- No core charge: sold new, with no core to return.
AAE recommends replacing the reservoir along with the pump, because a clogged reservoir can starve the replacement pump, and this unit comes with one. AAE also advises flushing the steering system and refilling it with an OE-approved power steering fluid to help maintain OE performance and operation.
Signs a power steering pump may need replacing include a whine or groan when turning, steering that feels heavy, or fluid leaking at the pump. Leaks at hoses or other steering components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the system first. If a failed pump is the cause, the 6383N replaces it.
