Power Steering Pumps: Description

The C-II pump is belt driven and has an integral fiberglass nylon reservoir. Spring loaded slippers within cam and rotor create pumping action. A flow control/relief valve maintains pump volume and pressure. The pump design incorporates a pump pressure fitting which allows the pump pressure line to swivel; this is normal and does not indicate an undertightened fitting. An identification tag attached to the reservoir body indicates the pump model. Use model code when requesting service parts in case of differences in internal components.
