Love it

Been working perfect last few years

It amazes me how we can normalize failure a part completely dies. ~370k on a failed power steering pump. I can't believe how shot the old pump was until I saw how useful power steering really is! The install was fairly simple however wrenching on any vehicle takes a certain personality to wade through the snake oil under the hood. One thing to note when the new pump was assembled one of the bolts was slightly longer than the others so the old mounting bolt didn't fit. I had to use a shorter bolt. That's a manufacturing issue with a few mismatched bolts ending up in a bin.

It’s too dang cold to crawl under the Westy.

The power steering pump looks great in the box, but there’s too much snow to get it down into the shop, so I’ll have to let you all know when the temps get above freezing. It arrived quickly, in good quality packaging, like all deliveries from Go Westy. I have all the confidence in the world that it will be fine.
