21-5419 Power Steering Pump, for Acura for Honda models

My 08 CRV power steering pump started to sound like marbles rattling around in a tin can. Honda OEM was over $800 and a Honda rebuilt was $450. I checked local parts stores but their reviews were less than stellar for $250+ for a rebuilt. I found this one on Amazon and found the reviews were mostly positive, with $80 being a great price for NEW. The Drivestar pump arrived the very next day. Hardest part of the installation was getting the serpentine belt off and loosening some rusty bolts that haven’t been touched in 14 years. Exact fit (I did have to reuse the original low pressure connector of the original pump) made the rest of the installation super easy. A little noisy at startup but it quieted right down once I topped off the fluid and got the air out of the system. Running quiet now and hopefully will give me reliable service until the new car market settles down and I can replace this trusty Honda.

I've have just installed it so cannot comment on quality. It however solved my power steering noise due to the pump was not working properly. After installation, it amazes me how light the steering wheel is. I flushed the power steering fluid but will flush it again to protect this pump. So far, it runs great.

Pump was installed in 2022 on a 2006 Acura TSX. First it was making a lot of noises which I brushed off after reading about the O-rings. Installed new O-rings. Pump seems to have had a slow leak for several years now. I should have uninstalled it and installed a different brand. Yes it fits the K24. Yes it's inexpensive. I'm pretty sure I got a dud. Caveat emptor. I don't see any other leaks in the system.

So one thing you will find out is that there are three price points on car parts. 1) Stealership (buying from dealer) which is 4-5 times what you should pay. 2) Autoparts places which is still 2x what you should pay. and 3) Amazon which I have found is usually 1/2 of the parts stores. If you can wait 2-3 days to get the parts, you get to save 1/2. If you need it that day then you must buy from the Stealership or local part stores. This power steering pump works absolutely perfectly and the price was 1/2 of autozone. I found some very good videos online that made swapping it out fairly easy. The only issue I had on this pump was that I actually had to use the outlet connector from my original pump because the angle of the connector on this pump was the wrong direction to work on the Honda CR-V. But other than that, it was a perfect fit and it works perfectly. If it does not hold up over time, then I will come back and update this review. I don't anticipate any issues with it. The hardest part of replacing was getting the drive belt back on. That has nothing to do with the pump, just letting you know that was the most difficult task of replacing this (required two people)

This pump is noticeably noisier than the OEM, but it's something that I can live with, especially that it does not leak oil. I will update this review if it fails.

The original power steering pump on my daughter's 2005 Honda CR-V was chattering badly so I ordered this item. The pump was a perfect match for the OEM pump. I had to install the pulley from the old pump and reverse the low pressure inlet on the new one to align with the hose from the reservoir. Installation was simple and straightforward. I saved several hundred dollars by buying this item instead of OEM. I highly recommend this power steering pump.

Since purchasing my 2010 CR-V, there was a whining noise that gradually intensified. I decided to replace the power steering pump as it was vibrating significantly. After the replacement, an issue arose where the system was pulling in air through the connection of the low-pressure hose. It turned out the o-ring was installed incorrectly. Once this was fixed, the noise completely disappeared, and there were no longer any vibrations in the steering. I recommend this product!

Looks like a very well made, quality pump. I can't comment on performance or durability, because I didn't end up needing it. My 2008 TSX problem was that both seals were badly worn and an airlock in the system caused by bad hose clamps allowing too much fluid to leak out and my daughter letting the fluid level get too low. I replaced the hose clamps and seals (bought on Amazon), bled the system, and now it's all good!

Fits exactly on my crv 2009. Great 👍 stuff
