The WOD GM Gen V LT CBR Power Steering Pump Mounting Bracket is designed to mount a PSC CBR power steering pump in a high, protected position on compatible GM LT engine platforms. Precision machined from aluminum, the bracket helps keep the pump clear of suspension links and other moving components in off-road vehicles, engine swaps, race builds, and custom chassis applications. Designed around the centered-pulley accessory layout used with compatible 2019-and-newer GM Gen V LT truck water pumps, this mounting system provides a compact solution for adding hydraulic power steering to LT-powered builds. The bracket is intended for remote-reservoir steering systems and includes the machined mounting components and installation hardware. Includes: Machined Aluminum CBR Pump Mounting Bracket Components Required Mounting Hardware Note: Power steering pump, pulley, belt, remote reservoir, hoses, and fittings are sold separately unless otherwise noted. Verify water pump, accessory-drive configuration, chassis clearance, belt alignment, and hose routing before ordering.

Requires a compatible remote-mounted power steering reservoir. Can be adapted to certain 2014–2018 Gen V LT swap applications, but it is not a direct replacement for the original accessory drive used on those vehicles. Verify water pump part number and pulley position before ordering. Confirm crank pulley, accessory spacing, belt routing, and tensioner compatibility. Check clearance around the cylinder head, intake manifold, chassis tubing, suspension links, radiator hoses, and exhaust system. Custom power steering hoses and fittings may be required. Verify pulley alignment before operating the engine. FAQ Why relocate the power steering pump higher on an LT engine? Off-road vehicles often package suspension links, axle components, and chassis tubing close to the front of the engine. Raising the power steering pump helps protect it from interference while creating additional room for suspension travel and custom chassis packaging. What power steering pump is this bracket designed for? This bracket is designed specifically for a PSC CBR power steering pump. Other pump styles may use different mounting patterns, shaft positions, or pulley offsets and are not confirmed by the supplied fitment information. Why does the water pump matter? The water pump determines pulley position, tensioner mounting, and accessory-drive alignment. This bracket is designed around the centered-pulley layout associated with GM water pump P/N 12687631 and compatible Gen V LT truck-engine applications. What is different about the centered-pulley water pump? The centered-pulley design places the water pump pulley closer to the center of the accessory drive than the offset layout found on certain earlier 2014–2018 L83 and L86 applications. That difference affects bracket position, belt alignment, and tensioner compatibility. Will this fit a 2014–2018 Gen V LT engine? It may be adapted to certain earlier Gen V LT engine-swap applications when the compatible centered-pulley water pump and accessory-drive components are used. It is not described as a direct replacement for the factory accessory system on those vehicles. Does this bracket require a remote power steering reservoir? Yes. PSC CBR pumps used with this bracket require a remote reservoir. The reservoir should be positioned to provide a reliable gravity feed to the pump while allowing proper fluid return, air separation, and service access. Why is reservoir placement important? A reservoir mounted too low or connected with a restricted supply hose can starve the pump and contribute to cavitation, noise, heat, and inconsistent steering performance. Follow the pump and reservoir manufacturer's instructions for mounting height, hose size, and routing. What should be verified before installation? Confirm the engine code, water pump part number, pulley alignment, crank spacing, belt path, tensioner location, pump pulley position, cylinder-head clearance, and chassis packaging. The steering hoses must also be routed away from exhaust heat and moving components. Is the belt included? The supplied information lists the mounting bracket components and installation hardware. It does not state that a belt, pulley, pump, reservoir, or steering hoses are included. Can this mount be used with hydro-assist or full hydraulic steering? The bracket provides a mounting location for the PSC CBR pump. Final compatibility with hydro-assist, full hydraulic steering, or hydroboost depends on pump configuration, pressure, flow, reservoir capacity, hose sizing, steering valve, cylinder, and the complete hydraulic system design.
