Power Steering Pump Rebuilder
Anyone know of a good place to get a power steering pump rebuilt? Just got a T2V pump that I want to put in my 95 (its from a 92), but I would like to get it rebuilt first. I could use it as a core for an off the shelf rebuild, but I understand T2V pumps are getting rare, and having worked in the business, I saw so many crap power steering rebuilds come off the shelf, that I really don't have much faith in them.
Anyone actually doing pump rebuilding out there? Anyone who cares about what they are doing?

I'll do my own when the time comes on whichever car comes first. Dumb question maybe, but I'd like to confirm that you have T2V? It'* not an easy conversion.
If you have it, have you tried low-speed turning with the pump connector disconnected to see how important it may actually be to you?

Now, I am not sure how I will get the T2V wired up, but one worry at a time. Could just do a manual switch, I guess, if need be, until I figure out the rest of it. Or, I could just accept the heavier low speed weight. Had a number of cars with manual steering, so not a huge issue there.

I have rebuilt power steering pumps a few times over the years cause I keep my cars so long.
They are dead easy. The rebuild kits, that are purchased thru the dealer, consist mainly of O-rings and seals to prevent both internal and external leakage.
There is a magnet inside that needs to be cleaned but other than that no other hard parts need to be changed.......or can be for that matter. If it'* that bad, visit the scrap yard for a donor.
If you open it up, you will see what I mean. There really is not much to it.
I rebuilt my first one when I was 20 many many years ago.

Encouraging indeed. Maybe I will give it a swing.
