When worn seals are behind a power steering pump leak, the Sunsong power steering pump seal kit, part number 8401496, lets you reseal the pump instead of buying a whole new unit. It is listed for the 1993-2006 Nissan Altima, 1998-2009 Nissan Frontier, 1995-2006 Nissan Sentra, 1993-2002 Mazda 626, 1994-1998 Honda Passport and many other Nissan, Infiniti, Mazda, Isuzu, Acura, Ford and Mercury models. The full list is below.
Pump seals keep power steering fluid inside the pump as it pressurizes the system. Signs the seals may need replacing include fluid seeping from around the pump and a reservoir level that keeps dropping. Confirm the source of the leak before you start, because hoses and lines can leak too. Follow the vehicle service information for disassembly, reassembly and refilling the pump.

What does this seal kit do?

What are signs a power steering pump may need new seals?
Fluid seeping from around the pump and a reservoir level that keeps dropping can be signs of worn pump seals. Confirm the leak source first, since hoses and lines can also leak.
