ps pump new source

[nc89sho]

as you may well know.. manufactureres rarely make new parts for JUST one car and many parts off of most cars come from existing other cars. it would appear that our's are no different and i believe i have found were our powersteering pumps (SHO spacific) came from.

look at the power steering pump for a 95 subaru legacy.

they are identical... and Subu uses the same stuff in almost every car so this may be a good alternative source for pumps for SHO's.

just letting everyone know.

fo shizzle? If I ever need a pump, I'll look into that.

My father picked up that last couple new pumps from the original manufacturer last spring. they had them tucked away in a store-room and were covered with dust. They got sold on the SHOtimes list within minutes of being posted.

p/s pump

I just bought one from Auto Zone for my genII,$130.00 plus a $40.00 core.It took them 2 day's to get it in.

:/ I just bought a SHO specific one at autozone for $179.99 with $40 core and it was special order (and rebuilt).

Suburu pumps win.

[nc89sho]

well, i dug up some more info on it.. here are the pics of the two units.

Legacy pump...

SHO pump.....

one bracket isn't there on the legacy pump.. but IMHO it doesn't need it.. but untill someone getts one and trys,

I checked one online vendor (don't rememeber who..big chain though); and the PS pump for the legacy/SHO was the same part # and price.

 

[750sho]

I checked autozone's website. Same part#, same price...

Sooo... we didn't really gain anything out of this did we...

 

[nc89sho]

still means they will be easyer to find, and less likely to be discontinued. the SUBU's are allot more common than SHOs

 

[DHMag]

after checking the computer at work (A-Z), they are different part numbers, different price, with the Subu being cheaper. they may look the same or similar but what about pump rotation and line hookup ? by the time you add the custom pressure line, your back at the cost of a SHO specific unit.
