Wow, another broken water pump that’s got close to 500 miles on it SMH. 😔

yes no looseness, in bearings i suspect impellor was bad plastic or was damaged when instaled by the manufacturer. hate to say it its a high mile car so am instaling a metal impellor pump. had a tough time cleaning the paper gasket material off of the mating surface. so have ordered metal gasket.
