KS01004260 Bosch Semi-Rotary Pump

This pump's job is to create hydraulic pressure. It takes fluid—steering fluid—and pressurizes it. That pressure is what actually lets you turn the steering wheel without a huge amount of effort. It doesn’t directly turn the wheels, it provides the force that allows the steering gear to do that. Semi – rotary means it doesn’t have a full rotational motion like some older designs; it uses a kind of rocking or oscillating motion to move the fluid. It's a key part of your power steering system. The pump sits connected to the steering column and the steering gear box—or rack, depending on your vehicle. The engine drives the pump with a belt, and when you turn the wheel, that signals the pump to send fluid under pressure to the steering gear. That pressurized fluid assists in moving the wheels. It's all connected; think of it like a team. If the pump isn't working right, the whole system suffers. Well, imagine trying to steer a car without power steering—especially at low speeds or when parking. It'd be a workout! The pump makes steering much easier and safer. If it starts to fail, you’ll notice if steering feels harder, especially at slower speeds. You might also hear a whining noise coming from the front of the car. It’s also a safety item—a complete failure can make the vehicle difficult to control. You can find a replacement semi – rotary pump at places like Fixparts Online if you need one, and they generally aren’t too difficult to replace, though it does take a bit of mechanical know – how. Future-proof your vehicle: Semi-Rotary Pump (MPN KS01004260) has a 12-month warranty!
