December 7, 2025Dec 7 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
December 7, 2025Dec 7 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.
December 7, 2025Dec 7 Author 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.
December 7, 2025Dec 7 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...
December 7, 2025Dec 7 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.
December 7, 2025Dec 7 Author 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.
