Any Better Power Steering Pump for our cars?
I Recently had a PS pump Fail, I took at look at the Guts and the Clip that holds the shaft in Failed, The pulley actually walked out and rubbed on the lower PS hose. I Know I could just de-power the Rack but I dont want to do that.. What I would like is a Racing alternative to what is there.. Eventually I will find one but just wanted to know if anyone had any BTDT Alternatives? And the Clip doesnt appear to come in a re-build kit and it also kinda Chewed up the splines on the shaft.. So I took the pump, splines and everything and tossed it.. Put one of my spares on, but how long with THAT last? I also Checked alignment.. This is just one of those failures that happens to a 30 year old part. Someone else posted they had a similar Failure recently. Oh well, what can we expect? My car is like 210 years old in Dog years.....
