Default Power Steering "Double ended" bolt

Anyone have one laying around?

No PET books seem to have what the 968 uses. I ordered what I thought was correct and ended up with a regular 13mm bolt. I have the spacers but the strange bolt is allusive.

BTW, mine apparently broke at some point. I was checking things before our DE and discovered the back portion was broken off.

It's the same as on a 944. I just checked PET and this bolt is not pictured with the PS pump nor with the lower BS cover (aka PS pump bracket). Sorry but I don't know the part number for this bolt but I know what you're talking about.

That is part of the pump.

Are you talking about #5? If so, they're $20.

After further inspection, Raj is right. The bolt that broke is actually part of the pump. The bolt broke off inside the pump housing. I'm affraid I will need a new/rebuilt pump.

Any recommendations?

I had the same problem. I've been driving the car without power steering since last summer and have become accustomed to it.
