Re: {Chrysler 300} 300F Wobbly Power Steering Pump

You heard it hear first and it won't
be the last time you hear it:

I was wrong.

The wobble bracket pump came out in 1960, not 61.
I also updated the bracket repair service page
http://www.chrysler300club.com/rcmstuff/nelsonsteer/nelsonsteer.html
to include a note that a new repair service will start this summer.
I had forgotten that page was still up.

See Bob's video on the pump bracket here:

Bob says the pump was first used in 61 but the 60 F uses this pump as does my 68 New Yorker. 

 

This fella has what you likely need:

The technical section of the club websites has many of these answers! They were all answered long before I arrived.

That video looks like evidence of a different problem than the usual back and forth movement that is to be expected by the pump.  It almost looks like there would be elongated holes in the bracket, or a severely worn bolt mounting the bracketry to the engine?  'Rocking' back and forth is 'normal', but the 'wobbling' in this video is not.

Bob Merritt has a video on his YouTube channel explaining the correct procedure to tighten the belt on this pump bracket that self-tightens as load on it increases. It depends upon a bushing that allows its self-tightening movement. Yours is likely shot allowing pump wobble. I believe the video includes advice on replacing the bushing.
