Power Steering Pump Seal Kit for 1991–1997 Volvo 850, 940, and 960
Protect Your Power Steering System Before It Fails
If you drive a 1991–1997 Volvo 850, 940, or 960, your vehicle’s power steering pump plays a key role in delivering smooth, responsive steering. But as these reliable sedans age, the internal seals inside the pump can begin to wear out—leading to fluid leaks, pressure loss, and a decline in steering performance.
Installing a high-quality pump seal kit now can help restore your system’s integrity and prevent more expensive repairs down the road.
Why Pump Seals Matter
The power steering pump is under constant pressure, and the seals and O-rings inside it are essential for keeping hydraulic fluid contained. Over time, exposure to high temperatures and fluid pressure causes these seals to harden, crack, or wear out.
Once that happens, your system may start to:
- Leak fluid
- Lose steering responsiveness
- Eventually suffer pump failure
Our kits are made to OEM specifications for Volvo 850, 940, and 960 models—ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance.
Common Signs Your Pump Seals Are Failing
If your Volvo is showing any of these symptoms, it’s time to inspect your power steering pump:
- Leaking Power Steering Fluid – Look for wet spots near the pump or fluid loss in the reservoir.
- Whining or Groaning Noises – Air in the system from a leaking seal can cause unusual noises during turns.
- Stiff or Inconsistent Steering – A slow leak lowers fluid levels and affects assist.
Replacing the pump seals early is the smart way to preserve your steering system and avoid costly repairs.
FAQ: Can You Drive with a Leaking Power Steering Pump Seal?
Technically, yes—but it’s risky.
A leaking seal will eventually lower fluid levels, increase friction inside the pump, and wear out internal components. Loss of power steering assist can make your car harder to control—especially at low speeds or during sudden maneuvers. It’s always better to fix it before it becomes dangerous.
