Is your steering feeling heavy or making that embarrassing squealing noise when you turn? A failing power steering pump can turn your daily drive from smooth to stressful, making even simple parking maneuvers feel like a workout.
Your power steering pump is the heart of your vehicle's hydraulic system, providing the necessary pressure to make steering effortless. When it starts to fail, you'll notice increased resistance, unusual noises, and eventually complete loss of assistance. This isn't just inconvenient—it can be unsafe, especially in emergency situations.
The 21-5290 power steering pump is engineered to meet and exceed OEM standards, ensuring perfect compatibility with your Acura or Honda. Made from durable alloy and high-quality plastic components, each pump is thoroughly tested before shipping to guarantee long-lasting performance. The included pulley ensures complete system compatibility without additional modifications.
After installation, you'll immediately appreciate the difference in steering response. No more wrestling with the wheel or worrying about that telling squeal. The pump provides smooth, consistent hydraulic pressure that makes your vehicle feel responsive and predictable again. Whether you're navigating tight city streets or cruising on the highway, you'll wonder why you didn't replace it sooner.
Remember to flush your entire power steering system before installation—contaminated fluid is the #1 cause of premature pump failure. Always replace those old O-rings and seals, and use only the manufacturer-recommended fluid. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure everything is properly bled and torqued to specification.
This pump fits 1999-2003 Acura TL 3.2L V6, 2001-2002 Acura MDX 3.5L V6, 2001-2003 Acura CL 3.2L V6, and 2003-2004 Honda Pilot 3.5L V6 models. Always verify your specific OEM part number before ordering to ensure perfect fitment for your vehicle.
