Re: {Chrysler 300} Re: steering pumps

The only thing that ever goes wrong with most of these pumps is they leak. I rebuild them, and never replace the slippers or springs. I doubt they are even available. Dirt is the only thing that will ruin the bypass valve. If it is stuck, you need another pump. I've been rebuilding them for years and never had a problem. The only one I had a problem with long ago was one I bought from a parts store. It almost put me into a guard rail when the bypass valve stuck. I put a used on on and no more problem. I pretty much will not buy anything rebuilt from a parts store.

We used to call these 'Federal pumps' they are still available. Rebuilt are less expensive. I rebuild my own pumps. Kits about $45.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} steering pumps

I have to hand it to the eBay sellers. Many advertise that they are selling a “rebuilt” TRW power steering pump. When pressed and asked if they have replaced the scrappers and springs that all end up saying no. Just seals and pain. They really also never replace the pressure valve. I love the English language skills of these sellers…

I am thinking of ordering one of the Saginaw pumps from Borgeson and seeing if it will work. I am tired of old so-called rebuilt pumps. For a driver, stock looking is not a concern.
