Power Steering Rebuilding

Featured Replies

Hey all,

Hope everyone is doing well. 
I’m new to this forum so bear with me. Thought I’d put up a post in case anyone is looking for a rebuilder of power steering pump and racks; specifically for the 1980-1985 gen2 series Brats, GL, and DL’s. I got into this hobby because I wanted to put power steering on my own car and because of that, I now do this for other people. 
Here’s prices in case anyone is interested:

Power steering pump: $250 plus shipping and core

Power steering rack: $250 plus shipping and core

Power steering swap kit: $1000 plus shipping

I have loads of other stuff too so if you’re looking for something, reach out.

It takes me lots of time sourcing parts and rebuilding them. I bench test every piece to verify proper operation and no leaks. 
If you’re interested, let me know. Happy to answer any questions. Thanks! Jeremy

Do you have good boots for power steering racks, that have the vent line fitting, AND last more than a year?  Both of the last options I tried cracked in six months after install.

I do have good used ones but they come with the racks that I rebuild. Have you tried the beck arnley ones? They don’t have the vent hole but I have a couple friends who’ve had good luck with them. 

Good used 40 year old boots won't be good much longer...  lol.  I tried the ones O'Reilly sells, and they cracked almost immediately.  The ones when I got a rack rebuilt by Phoenix Rack And Axle lasted six months.  Have been once again driving with open boots...

I used Lemforder 3015501 boots. I just replaced them a month ago so I cannot attest to their durability. They did feel and appear to be of OEM quality. 

They withstood my manhandling when installing (IYKYK) without cracking or tearing.

Very true. Rubber has a lifespan regardless. I’d bet even NOS boots would be running on borrowed time. 
I’d recommend trying the beck arnley boots. You can get them off amazing for about $20 a pop.
