power steering pump question

[BamSHO]

Question was there a design change on the power steering pumps. I have a 98 and need a pump, its shot. Ordered one from Advance and it doesnt look anything like the old one. Everyone online it looks like the one that I had ordered.

That one I do not know. Paul, you have had a few different years, do you know on this? Or Kirk?

Its likely that Advanced gave you one for a SLO.

The pumps are the same but the hi pressure hose and racks have different ends on them. That changed somewhere in the '97-'98 run.

...My 1998 SHO V-8 steering system makes a growling sound. I have added fluid at times. It steers O.K., so my question is: what's my problem? Is it a pump problem? I fully intend to keep it so I'd like to keep it in good condition. Thanks, Jungle Jim

The mistake was mine, didnt realize that the 4 bolts i removed was to mount it to the car not the actually P/S pump bolts. Still have a small leak, going to replace the pressure line.

Is the leak at the pump?

 

[BamSHO]

no actually the leak was coming out the main seal in the front of it. Plus the pump moaned awful bad. Going to replace the pressure this week or next.
