Looking for a power steering pump

Like the title says I'm looking for a power steering pump. Let me know if you have a good one and how much it would be plus shipping to 04005. If you aren't local that is. Mine is whining quite a bit even when it's full of fluid.

In the "How To documents" are instructions to replace the O-ring, If that's leaking it can cause some noise's.

Also in there are instructions for rebuilding the pump, if you want to go that route.

Very few pumps need to be replaced or go bad. The pesky O-ring is the main problem which needs replacing. Change it and the world will be great again.

Would replacing stop the squealing? It's doing it now even when it is full of fluid. I need to order that o-ring and solve the leaking issue anyway.

To save some time instead of ordering the o ring I would try going to a local auto repair place and get an o ring from them. Ask for one of the a/c o rings as they are made from nitrile and would be a good replacement.
It should be either the P11 or P14.
P11: width of 2.4 and I.D. of 10.8
P14: width of 2.4 and I.D. of 13.8
I forgot which one it is.
If they make you pay it should just be a few pennies so take your old one w/ you or just buy both.

Even in an auto parts store, they are around $1. You can get a pack of them for a little more.

Yes, sometimes the problem is that it sucks air and the steering is very hard or is jerky. The noise is also sometimes the problem. If you change it, you may be surprised what it will do.

I guess it's time for me to replace my O-ring then. Shuddering happens once everything is warmed up.

Not auto parts place but local auto repair place. Auto parts place will charge and give you crap for parts. If you ask for nitrile they prob will say what?. And if you ask what kind of rubber o ring they are selling you (if they even have the correct size) you will hear them say that rubber is rubber. You want either nitrile or buna-N.
I know what I know and don't claim otherwise, hence the 'forgot which size it was' I stated in a sentence previously.
