Ford F-450 10 Cyl 6.8L GT Crew Cab Pickup Power Steering Pump

The power steering pump is a rotary-vane pump that provides the hydraulic pressure needed to assist the driver in steering the front wheels. It contains retractable vanes inside an oval chamber that are driven by the vehicle's engine via a belt and pulley to drive the power steering fluid. The pump pulls in fluid from the return line and forces it out into the outlet at a very high pressure. As the speed of the vehicle increases, the amount of flow of the hydraulic fluid also increases. A pressure-relief valve inside the pump prevents the hydraulic pressure from getting too high especially during high speed driving. Check out our outstanding quality parts at very low prices.
