Manche757 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I had the power steering pump replaced about a year ago on an 89MJ 4.0 when it was groaning. Now a year later the replacement is groaning also. Curiously, it does not start the noise until after about 20 minutes of driving and then continues for the rest of time driving. It is worse when turning at low speed. I am going to have it replaced again. My question is does anyone have a brand name for steering pumps they have used for several years without failure?

Was it brand new or rebuilt/reman'd? And what brand is in there now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the mechanic that and he is to search through his records. I don't want the same brand installed whatever it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a good choice for those that don't have the available money for PSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Yeah, I just had a Lares reman unit put it. I think there is still air in it, need to take it back to the shop. It has a lot more resistance than the old box and sometimes it feels like it has lots of assist and other times it is very stiff. Fyi....you can get a brand new Lares box from RockAuto for @$350. If mine doesn't improve after I take it back to the shop, I may return it and get a brand new one. Fortunately I grew up with the guy that owns the shop so he'll spend the time to make it right if it's just air in the line and not a bad reman unit.
