    P/s Pump Fiasco

    in 92 - 00 Lexus SC300 / SC400

    Posted

    So I buy a 95 SC4 with 89k on it, for a good price.  AFTER all of the paperwork is signed, I'm picking the car up from detailing, and the previous owner (who was also the finance manager at the dealership) tells me that the power steering pump is leaking, and he'll get it fixed for free (At Nissan).  They fix it, and it starts leaking again.  I call the dealership, and they advise me that I should just take it to Lexus, which will be covered by my extended warranty that I purchased.  Ha! First off, the warranty company tells Lexus my warranty is invalid, since the car is over 8 years old.  After some sweet talking, they tell me they will repair it, BUT they will only pay for the p/s pump.  After I read their own contract to them, they realize the reservoir is covered too, which apparently was bad also, along with a $500 hose.  Lexus wanted 2500 to replace the pump, reservoir, and a couple of hoses, but the warranty company would only cover 600 bucks of that...what a load of bs.  Long story short, don't ever buy a QualityGuard plus extended warranty!  If I wasn't leaving for Afghanistan soon, I would be kicking some !Removed! at the dealership where I bought the car (Courtesy Nissan Tampa)!

    Did this on my 95 SC400 before it was wrecked. Aftermarket cost was $130 after core and $125 for labor. If you do your oil changes someplace that doesn't know Lexus make sure they top it off with the correct fluid. What I found is that many times they put in power steering fluid instead of ATF which causes it to leak due to different viscocity.

    use only the factory parts in the long run it will be better. and take everything apart slowly and if you have to draw pics. to remind your self where everything goes, its not that hard take you time and look at everything it should not take you more then one day, takes me one hours at the most to change out the pump and hoses. remember the factory part will be better in the long run. I stand by that.

    and use aft with dextron.

    you got to be kidding right? well aways it takes about 2hrs total for soemone who never done it before and about 3 difrent size sockets. if you never done it before on any car i dont recomend you start to try on a lexus... Dam DudE!

    Not kidding at all. I've done Mazda 929 multiple time, BMW 740IL and several Passata, and they are all different. Looking for some guidance on RX300 - mainly which bolts to remove, what to torque them to, and any other idisyncrasies I should be aware of before I start.

    Just jack up the car and look at it its really easy. half hour at the most. just to change out. but its better if you resurface the rotors first.

    The Front Conroll Arm Bushings

    Who offers the front controll arm bushings for the sc400? I dont want to pay for the whole assembly. I was hopeing to get some bushings or ball joint to repair them. Any info of you who have changed them holler at me

    but your best bet is to change out the whole control arm. because if you only change out the bushings then the ball joints might go out after, and you don't want to that to happen right.
