hjcaywood Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I Inherited A 1990 LS 400 and it needs a power steering pump. As a student I cant afford to take it to a shop. How do I get to the mounting bolts? What about the hoses? Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ko90ls Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 most PS pumps are not bad, just expensive. check the steering rack solenoid. do a search and read the longest post you can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I get to the mounting bolts? What about the hoses? Please help! If the problem with the PS pump is only leakage, as is typical, you only need an overhaul kit and very few parts from that. There is a fluid pressure control valve that is the usual source of the fluid leak and replacing the seals in that is all that is really needed.
