Power steering pump needed
I have been told that I need a new pump. How much is this gonna run me? They quoted me around $450 for parts and labor. Just wondering if anyone has a spare one, or if $450 is a decent price.
Thanks

Re: Power steering pump needed
No way.
$450 is ridiculous. Also, needing a new pump is commonly misdiagnosed. First thing you want to do is replace the power steering O-ring. It might cost you $1. It might be the fix. Check this how-to document for details on how to fix it yourself. http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/How-To/44326.pdf If that doesn't work, a used pump can be had for quite cheap. Check the for sale section here or ebay for a pump. There is also a how-to document here for rebuilding a pump.

Re: Power steering pump needed
The bad thing about just replacing that o-ring is that it may still leak. All of the o-rings in that pump are toasted. They dont even feel like rubber when you take it all apart.
The best thing to do is take it out and replace all of the seals, the bearing and the spring. I have rebuilt 3 p/s pumps this way with great success. all together the parts are approx $40. If you do not feel comfortable doing that I would suggest advance auto. I think they have them for $130
