- Seals to restore the pump: Includes the seals needed to restore the power steering pump.
- Repair instead of replace: Lets you repair the existing power steering pump rather than replace the entire unit.
- Steering feel: Resealing the pump can also help improve steering performance and reduce steering effort.
- Fluid-transfer specialist: Sunsong is a vertically integrated manufacturer that researches, develops and builds automotive fluid transfer hoses and lines. It designs its products around what installers need.
The seals in a power steering pump keep fluid contained while the pump supplies pressure to the steering system. As they age, fluid can escape.
Signs the pump seals may need replacing:
- Fluid seeping or dripping from the pump.
- A fluid level that keeps dropping.
- Whining or heavier steering when fluid runs low.
Diagnose the cause before you repair. If other internal parts of the pump are worn, a seal kit alone may not address the problem.
