V-Groove Power Steering Pulley Black

The V-Groove Power Steering Pulley Black from TUFF-STUFF (Model 8492C) is a precision-engineered replacement component designed for GM Type II style power steering pumps. Whether you're restoring a classic muscle car, rebuilding a worn-out steering system, or upgrading an engine bay, this single-groove pulley is essential for maintaining proper belt drive engagement and steering system reliability. Built as a press-on component, it integrates directly onto your pump shaft without requiring fasteners, simplifying installation and reducing vibration transfer to surrounding components.

Manufactured from aluminum, this power steering pulley features a V-groove profile that matches OEM specifications for GM Type II pumps, with a 4.563-inch diameter designed to maintain factory belt tension and drive ratios. The black finish provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance under the hood, while the aluminum construction keeps rotational mass minimal—critical for reducing parasitic load on your engine and preserving fuel efficiency. The single-groove design ensures compatibility with standard serpentine or V-belt systems, delivering consistent power transmission from crankshaft to steering pump with minimal slip or wear.

Mechanics and enthusiasts rebuilding Chevrolet, Pontiac, and other GM vehicles from the 1960s through early 2000s will find this pulley indispensable for complete power steering pump restoration. Press-on installation means no drilling, tapping, or hardware machining—simply press the pulley onto a clean pump shaft using a hydraulic press or bearing puller tool. Verify pump compatibility before ordering: this component is engineered specifically for GM Type II style housings. Pair it with a quality serpentine belt and idler pulley for optimal steering response and long-term reliability.
