Power Steering Pump for 2007-2012 Nissan Altima 3.5L & 2009-2014 Maxima Murano

Power Steering Pump for Nissan Altima, Maxima, and Murano

Replacement power steering pump for the specific Nissan applications listed below.

Critical fitment warning: Altima fitment is explicitly limited to the 3.5L V6. The source does not state engine, FWD/AWD, trim, production date, or hydraulic-system restrictions for Maxima and Murano. It also does not provide reference numbers or confirm pulley diameter and groove count, shaft type, pressure and return port locations, pressure-switch or sensor provision, or mounting configuration. Confirm the VIN, engine, drivetrain, original pump number, pulley, ports, connectors, hose fittings, shaft, and mounting points before ordering. Verify that the vehicle uses a compatible hydraulic power steering pump rather than a different steering-assist system.

Vehicle Compatibility

• 2007–2012 Nissan Altima — 3.5L V6 only
• 2009–2014 Nissan Maxima — engine and configuration restrictions not provided by source
• 2009–2014 Nissan Murano — engine and FWD/AWD restrictions not provided by source

Altima models with engines other than the 3.5L V6 are not confirmed. For Maxima and Murano, model year alone should not be used for final fitment verification.

Package Contents

One power steering pump. Pulley, reservoir, cap, mounting bracket, pressure switch or sensor, hoses, O-rings, seals, mounting bolts, drive belt, and power steering fluid are not confirmed unless shown in the product images. Compare the supplied pump with the original before installation.

Common Power Steering Symptoms

• Whining or groaning that changes with steering input
• Heavy or inconsistent steering effort
• Fluid leakage around the pump, shaft, reservoir, or hoses
• Foaming fluid or repeated air entering the system
• Pulley wobble, bearing noise, or belt-tracking problems

Similar symptoms may be caused by low or incorrect fluid, leaking hoses, a restricted reservoir screen, belt or tensioner problems, trapped air, steering-rack faults, or damaged steering components. Diagnose the complete system before replacing the pump.

Installation Notes

Steering-system work is safety-critical and professional installation is recommended. Identify and repair the cause of the original failure, inspect the reservoir and hoses for contamination or restrictions, and flush the system according to Nissan service information where required. Transfer the pulley only with the correct installer and remover; hammering or pressing against the pump shaft can cause damage. Replace required seals and O-rings, use only the vehicle-specified fluid, and follow Nissan torque specifications. Bleed the system without holding the steering against either stop, then check fluid level, belt alignment, steering assist, abnormal noise, and leaks.
