Restore smooth, power-assisted steering with the CARDONE Remanufactured Power Steering Pump 21-5253. This reman unit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Hyundai Sonata, 2001-2006 Kia Magentis, and 2001-2006 Kia Optima — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine specifics. The pump pressurizes the hydraulic fluid that provides steering assist; if a worn pump is behind a whine when turning, heavy steering, or fluid seepage, this replaces it.
Final pump assembly is computer-tested to measure pressure, bypass, fluid flow, valve operation, steering effort and noise. The earth-friendly remanufacturing process cuts the energy and raw material needed to make a new part by 80%.
