Power steering pump FINALLY done!!!!

After about 3 weeks the Q finally got the new PS pump for the HICAS.

I guess getting the 68 Firebird slowed my motivation for anything else right now...hahaha

So was the pump the cause of your woes?? Good to hear you got it done..

Did you buy a new one, get a used one, or what?

A used one. Alot better than giving the dealer $700!!! haha

I kept hearing a squeek noise(constant). Then one day I turned it on and it was a constant scraping sound. It was going with the speed of a motor so I knew it was a pulley. I wasn't to concerned because they were all replaced right before I bought the car(5 months ago) and the dealership would have swapped it out. But when I put the car on my lift I noticed lots of metal shavings behind the PS pulley. The bearing like chewed itself to it's death and each minute it made the scraping noise was worse and worse

But I got my wonderful daily driver back and I am soo happy.
