LAUBER Power Steering Pump 55.5296

Whining noises when you turn the wheel, stiff steering at low speeds, or fluid leaks near the front of your engine bay are classic signs of power steering pump failure. The LAUBER 55.5296 addresses these issues directly, restoring precise, low-effort steering response.

Key Benefits of the LAUBER 55.5296 Power Steering Pump

The LAUBER 55.5296 isn’t just a generic replacement part — it’s engineered with real advantages for drivers who want their steering system to perform like new:

• Straightforward installation — designed to bolt in using the factory mounting points and existing brackets, with no vehicle modification required
• Corrosion resistance — housing and fittings built to withstand road salt, moisture, and temperature extremes across all climates
• Consistent pressure delivery — engineered to maintain OE-matched hydraulic pressure for smooth steering response across the entire speed range
• Quieter operation — precision-engineered internals help eliminate the whining or groaning noise associated with a failing pump
• Restored steering precision — hydraulic pressure output matched to OE specifications for consistent, predictable steering feel at all speeds
• Durable materials — high-grade housing materials selected for strength and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability under continuous hydraulic load

Applications & Use Cases

This power steering pump is suited for daily commuters, highway drivers, and anyone who relies on predictable, low-effort steering in stop-and-go traffic or tight parking maneuvers. Whether you’re navigating city streets, merging onto the highway, or parking in a tight garage, a properly functioning power steering pump makes every maneuver easier and safer. Replacing a failing pump promptly also helps protect other steering system components — a pump running low on pressure or contaminated with metal debris from internal wear can accelerate wear on the steering rack, hoses, and gearbox, turning a moderate repair into a much larger one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating pressure does the LAUBER 55.5296 produce?

The LAUBER 55.5296 is engineered to produce OE-matched hydraulic pressure output for consistent, reliable steering assist across the full range of driving conditions.

Can I install the LAUBER 55.5296 myself, or do I need a professional?

The LAUBER 55.5296 is designed for straightforward bolt-on installation using factory mounting points, which many experienced DIY mechanics can handle with basic tools. However, if you’re not comfortable working on your steering system, we recommend having it installed by a qualified technician.

What makes the LAUBER 55.5296 different from other power steering pumps?

The LAUBER 55.5296 is manufactured to match OE hydraulic pressure and mounting specifications, so it restores factory-level steering feel rather than an approximate aftermarket fit. It’s cross-referenced against TecDoc data and built for direct bolt-on installation.

What is the manufacturer part number for the LAUBER 55.5296?

The LAUBER 55.5296 carries manufacturer part number 55.5296. You can use this number, along with your vehicle’s OE reference number, to confirm fitment before ordering.

How long does shipping take?

We ship to all 50 U.S. states with most orders processed within one business day. Delivery times vary by location, and you’ll receive tracking information as soon as your order ships.

Will this pump fit vehicles with electric power steering?

No. The LAUBER 55.5296 is a hydraulic power steering pump designed for vehicles equipped with traditional hydraulic power steering systems, not electric power steering (EPS) systems.

Is this power steering pump a direct replacement for my original equipment pump?

Yes. The LAUBER 55.5296 is engineered as a direct OE-fit replacement, using the same mounting configuration and pressure output as the original pump it replaces, so no modification to your steering system is required.

Do I need to replace the power steering fluid when installing a new pump?

Yes, we strongly recommend flushing the system and replacing the power steering fluid with the type specified in your owner’s manual whenever you install a new pump. Old fluid can contain metal particles from the failed pump that would contaminate the new unit.

Does the LAUBER 55.5296 come with a belt pulley installed?

No, the LAUBER 55.5296 is supplied without a belt pulley, so your existing pulley will need to be transferred from your original pump during installation.

What warranty comes with the LAUBER 55.5296?

The LAUBER 55.5296 is backed by a manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If you experience any issues, our support team can help facilitate a warranty claim quickly.

Does the LAUBER 55.5296 include a reservoir?

The LAUBER 55.5296 is supplied as a pump unit; if your vehicle uses a separate fluid reservoir, your existing reservoir can typically be reused unless it shows signs of damage or contamination.
