What's covered

What the service covers

The power steering pump provides the hydraulic pressure that makes your steering light. When it starts to fail you get whining, heavy steering and often a leak. Reconditioning or an exchange pump restores full assistance for far less than a new OE part.

Why reconditioned

Why reconditioned or remanufactured?

A reconditioned or remanufactured power steering pump can restore reliable steering assistance without the cost of a new OE part.
