Power steering pumps gone up?

[deltabronco]

Was talking to a vendor and he said the stock remanufactored power steering pumps have gone through the roof in price. Anyone confirm this?

Doesn't look like it to me. There is a core charge on them that appears to have gone up. They are also being made new now as well.

Any idea whether the new ones are quality made?

There was a post here a few days ago one of the vendors saying they had completely stopped selling re-manufactured pumps because of too many problems.

How many times can you rebuild something before it is too out of spec to do it again?

Yes. I paid $75 2 year ago for a Cardone and it went bad in the fall. Just tried to warranty it at advance auto and they said they couldn't get it. Figured out it was over $300 and why the wouldn't warranty it.

Talked them into just giving me the pump and I removed replace the can and seals.

The pump itself I don't think is specific to the bronco. The resovior can is.

Just curious as i can get 5 or 6 remans from a local AP store real cheap. I debated buying them.

Rebuilt PS pumps are f*cking JUNQUE! Spent the extra cake and buy new - take it from the 60 year old geezer who's built 23 vehicles from the ground up - most of 'em w/power steering...

I posted about the new vs reman pumps and wild horses only sells new ones cause of all the issues. So I ordered one of the hd wild horses pumps and we will see how it works once it gets here! Hopefully no more weak pumps or ones that start leaking a month down the road.

Cardone is bringing in more and more reconditioned stuff from China. QC is all over the place.

Are the WH ones OEM or Saginaw type?

What QC? I don't think QC is part of the Chinese vocabulary. I work part time at a Car Quest and in the industry Cardone = Junk.
