I have a 1994 Q45t with HICAS. I have been told the pump is different so I can't use a regular one.
My main concern is whether or not I can replace the bearing alone since the pump is fine? Also if I can does anyone have a part #.
If not I am already in the search of a used power steering pump. I Am thinking that is my only way out w/o getting raped.
Power steering pulley bearing replaceable? Q45t

Re: (Q451990)
I agree...Q451990 wrote:Is it the pump that's bad (or the bearing in the pump) or the idler pulley on that belt? Pretty rare to have a pump failure. A bad idler pulley can sound strikingly similar to a failing pump.

You can always get a rebuild kit for the pump....

So how's the fluid look? Any maintenance history? Have you called Joe?

Re: (guadofreak)
If there is a bearing failure, there is for certain seal failure form contamination. What makes you think that bearing is toast?What you can do is remove p/s belt and actually check p/s pulley play. there should be some(very minimal) end play, but the shoudn't be any side-to-side play.If there is some sideplay, R+R and overhaul of p/s pump is needed.Cheers!

That's exactly what I did side to side play It looks like I found a used PS pump so hopefully it will be in good condition. Is this common??
