Power Steering Pump with Pulley & Reservoir 20-326 - Quiet, Direct Fit

Our review of the Power Steering Pump with Pulley & Reservoir 20-326 finds it best suited for owners of compatible Ford Focus and Transit Connect models who need a direct OE-style replacement. The single biggest reason to consider this pump is fitment accuracy: the unit references original part numbers such as 6S4Z3A674A and 7S4Z3A674A, which makes it a straightforward swap for 2006-2011 Focus and 2010-2011 Transit Connect engines when the vehicle and part number are confirmed. Installation is generally reported as easy, and the pump aims to restore smooth steering and reduce whining when the original pump fails.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits specific 2006-2011 Focus and 2010-2011 Transit Connect engine variants, making it a focused replacement option for those exact models.
• OE Replacement Reference: Matches common reference numbers like 20-326 and 6S4Z3A674A so buyers can verify correct fit before ordering.
• Includes Pulley and Reservoir: Ships as a complete pump assembly to simplify installation and avoid sourcing separate components.
• Smoother Steering: Designed to restore smooth wheel movement and quicker steering response when an original pump becomes stiff or noisy.
• Noise Reduction: Built to quiet whining associated with worn pumps, improving driving comfort when the unit functions correctly.

Who It's For

This power steering pump is for DIY mechanics and professional installers who own a 2006-2011 Ford Focus with L4 2.0L, L4 2.3L, or L5 2.5L engines, or a 2010-2011 Transit Connect L4 2.0L, and who need a direct OE-style replacement. It is especially suitable when the vehicle's existing pump shows signs of whining, stiffness, slow steering response, or rough wheel movement and the correct reference part number can be confirmed.

It is not for vehicles outside the listed model years or engine types, and buyers who require a guaranteed silent or lifetime-leak-proof unit should consider that some customers reported occasional issues such as noise or a defective unit out of the box. Professional installation is recommended to avoid damage during setup and testing.
