power steering pump seal kits
beast5680:
pah :-. last a few days indeed if it is just a seal leaking a seal kit will cure it, i did one and its been dry 2 years now IMO worth a punt over £200 of box, having said that sometimes a box is the only cure for the problem :D
waveydavey:
Not something I know a lot about but maybe you can pull the bearings off if necessary?
To buy a bearing is not expensive and do them with the seals you should be sorted.

It must be from underneath the box somewhere ? Anybody know where i can get a seal kit from for it ? £200 + vat for an exchange recon unit from paddocks simply isnt an option at the mo :evil: It's a 3.9 '89 V8 with the four bolt type box.

Hi m8 just looked on paddocks they do one fro 185 +vat but you will get 100 back when you return your old box so it is really 85 +vat with old box

That's what I thought, but then I looked at the title again and it says pump.
So Barry, pump (on the engine) or box (on the chassis)? the later pump that you have it a sealed unit and not serviceable AFAIK, though you may get a recon one. The steering box is designed to be rebuilt, though as said a leak ofetn indicates wear in the main shaft and bearing. As it's a journal or plain bearing it's not an easy swap but worse than that it wears the main shaft a litle too.
S/H is an option for both though and you should be able to se what condition they were in, ie covered in oil=avoid. TBH though don't look in a breakers, try the specialist dismantlers where the parts might be off-the-shelf, you should ask for a guarantee if they are.

I'd not even consider the kit,
I've done a few over the years and so's my mate who works in an auto transmission engineering place and they don't last.
It's cheaper in the long run to buy a recon box.
Craddocks are usaully the dearest place to buy anything!
Check out some of the ads in the mags.
Cheers,

I wish....... It's £300 upfront for the recon box then they refund you £100 when they get your old box back :evil: Sorry for the confusion in the title guy's it's the box that is leaking , not the pump
