About ABIGAIL power steering pump
The A ABIGAIL power steering pump is exact OE manufactured and can be replaced directly with the original parts in your vehicle. It is made of high quality plastic and maintain a good strength to give the parts long time performance. It can be installed easily without using complicated tools.
Tips for replaycing a new power steering pump
- When replacing a power steering pump the entire hydraulic system needs to be flushed.
- The system filled with the manufacturer specified power steering fluid.
- Follow the manufacturer’s specified bleeding procedure to remove air and minimize noise.
Before replacing a power steering pump make sure you have diagnosed the problem properly. Always check the power steering fluid level with the engine off. Running a hydraulic pump without fluid can permanently damage the unit. Inspect the power steering fittings, hoses, reservoir, cooler and pump for leaks.
Function/Working of a Power Steering Pump
The power steering pump is driven by the engine's crankshaft via a belt-pulley mechanism. The pump is usually located in the front of the engine, adjacent to the alternator or AC compressor. The steering pump compresses the hydraulic fluid at a rate directly proportional to the speed of the engine. The pump is built as such to provide the required pressure in different engine conditions such as idling or running at high speeds.
Symptoms of power steering pump failure
Difficulty in turing the wheel
The most common symptoms associated with power steering pump failure is you will feel difficulty in turning the steering wheel. The steering wheel of your vehicle will feel very stiff than usual and you will have to use a lot of strength & force just to make a basic turn.
Appearance of the power steering
When the power steering fluid which has turned to dark grey indicates oxidationd, it can cause the tubes that move the fluid to gum up, which leads to power steering failure. If you notice foams or bubbles present in the fluid, then it indicates water or air in the power steering line.
Fluid levers
If the level of your power steering fluid is low, then it is a sign of a leak, which might be caused due to a failing power steering pump. A low power steering fluid level can also cause the pump to produce abnormal sounds.
Squealing sound
If you hear a squealing noise when you turn the steering wheel, or when driving slowly, it means the power steering pump is failing. and when you start the car & hear a clunking or chattering noise under the hood, it is related to the power steering pump failure.

So far so good (1-year anniversary). This fits perfectly on my Honda Accord 2004. You will need to swap the old pulley onto this as it doesn't come with a pulley.

Si van a durar con su auto más de 2 meses no la compren, inviertan más o en otro lado

Installed just a month or two ago and flushed half the fluid as maintenance. Previously replaced upper PS hose and did fluid then as well. This pump is loud and making grinding noises seemingly worse than the pump that was leaking. It gets extremely hot as well. It will not last long. Ill use this one while I source parts ro rebuild the OEM one but I would not buy this pump if you use your car regularly and cant be without it. Maybe I just got a bad one but it sounds terrible.

After installing the new power steering pump; it squeaks really bad when I accelerate. My oem didn’t make this noise at all but the seals were bad and it was leaking fluid so I gave this one a chance. I don’t recommend it since it’s really noisy. Now the power steering pump went out after 2 months after installation.

It worked the first time and is quiet. I's been about a month now. Make sure to fill the reservoir to the max-line before starting the car and keep filling to maintain the max-line then lift the front wheel off the ground and turn the steering wheel several time from one end to the other end to get the air out.

My power steering have been giving me problems for a while now. A couple of years ago, most noticeably during cold weather, the steering wheel was hard to turn and made noise. I took it to my local mechanic and he told me that the high pressure hose needed to be replaced. That cost me $500 parts and labor in 2017 (I live in NYC).The power steering about 2 months ago started doing the same thing. This time I took it to a different mechanic, and he told me that the steering pump and the high pressure hose needed to be replaced and quoted me $750. I told him not to do anything. I looked up different parts and youtube videos. I saw how easy it was to replace the power steering pump. Of course the OEM part was going to run $200 or more. I looked at this aftermarket one, and I figured if I can put it in myself and it works then it's still worth saving 10 times the price the mechanic was quoting me on an 17 year old car which I can't justify spending $750.So I replaced the pump yesterday in 30 degree weather in NYC. Really easy job, I just had to borrow the special serpentine belt tool from Pepboys for free and buy some Honda steering pump fluid. Once the job was done and added the fluid. No more noise and wheels turn normally in below freezing weather.The only questions is how long will this aftermarket pump will last. But at this point if it lasts a few years or over 6 months, it's still worth the price since I now know how to replace it. I can always go buy the OEM part. I think it's highly unlikely for a catastrophic failure where the pump completely dies, so as long as I have some warning like before, it's still a job I can handle.You have to judge how much your car and time is worth. In this case for me, this was so far a good purchase, and if it lasts years, I'll be back on here to give it even a better review.The reviews on here that talk about improper fit, I can't speak to their actual experience, but I highly suspect they bought the wrong part, or they have a 3.0 not a 2.4 because this is a drop in fit for a 7th Generation Accord (2003-2007) 2.4L. Don't be worried about the fit if you know the exact make and model of your car.Note: as is obvious, you have to take the serpentine wheel off your old steering wheel pump and place it on this one.
