Power steering issues continue, new pump installed
92 SVX (04/91 mfg date) Just installed a reman pump from Rock auto. Pump made its lil bit of noise while the air was bleeding out. After about 20 seconds of running it blew the pressure side hose. Tossed a spare hose off my 95 on it and now its doing the exact crap the OEM pump was doing. Hardly any assist at all. I when through and replaced all the O-rings on the pressure side, and replaced the res. o-ring again (tried different thicknesses because the stealership up here doesnt stock the o-ring.
I've dealt with a ton of subaru's over the last 15 years, never seen a car do this. It was always replace the pump or replace the line (if they ever did wear out, rarely happens up here in AK) Even with the OEM pump I blew the return line off numerous times @ -60F during the winter and the OEM pump came back to life once the system was sealed again. I have a spare rack/pinion in the 95, I think its still good, car was driving when it was wrecked. Do the racks ever fail on these cars? (only seen inner and outer tierods fail) Any and all ideas are appreciated otherwise I'm gonna yard out this motor and swap it into my 98 Outback with a 5 speed
