Hi guys.
just wondering if anyone might have a spare power steering pump, in reasonable condition, they may consider selling.Noticed a bit of smoke coming from under the
bonnet this afternoon had a look and it seemed to be power steering fluid that had made its way onto the exhaust.The power steering pump being directly over the top of
where I saw the fluid so I am assuming the pumps leaking.As I topped it up not long ago.
Any help would appreciated cheers fella's

Seal Kits are available on ebay from ebay seller steering-rebuilds-australia and others

Hi ,
thanks for that, how involved or difficult are the seals to fit?

cheers.

I have never rebuilt a Subaru steering pump, however the directions are contained within the factory service manual.
If faced with your position I would be rebuilding mine, basically because I would not find it difficult.
Identify the correct pump and kit combination first.

Or send it to MrRacks in Seven Hills NSW. Give them a call.
Great service and prices. About $190 from memory to rebuild your pump with warranty.
You will need to ensure you buy a OEM low pressure hose and the o ring supplied is also fitted by your mechanic (if you dont send the attachment that has the existing o ring to them) for the warranty to hold.
They can rebuild it and send it out on the same day.

Hey guys,
both good suggestions,and wallet wise a lot better than what I've been able to come up with so far.
thanks again.

You might be surprised how easy the fix might be.

Had a similar issue with a power steering pump on a 99 WRX leaking and squealing. Ended up being a small o-ring between the reservoir and the pump which was a $2 fix.

Buy an o-ring kit, pull it out, undo some of the visible bolts and replace any major o-rings or seals you can see. Might just solve your problems

I have already done that and actually thought that I had resolved the issue.But after a while I was topping up the
fluid again so I looked under the pump and there was steering fluid pooled up under it so I suppose its got to be the
pump as I cant see any other signs of leaks.

Any update to this? Apparently mine needs rebuilding and have been quote $600 incl. labour.
NOT an expense I need after just spending that on the last service a week ago and needing tyres next, before rego is due in a few months.
I'm surprised too as I've only just ticked over 100,000kms.

For Melb guys, I recommend Cromwood Auto in Burwood. I had mine rebuilt in Dec for about $400 inc labour.
