97LS400 power steering pump replacement

External Since: Jun 24, 2005 Posts: 6

Does anyone know a good place to buy a pump and a site that has good
directions on how to change one? It has been told to me that if I continue
to let it leak that it will ruin my alternator as the oil leaks onto the
alt. I have heard they are about 400 to 500 bucks, and hoses are around 300.
BUT I also was told a hose shop can make them for a fraction of that.
Any ideas?
thanks,
John

You need to go to a good independent repair shop that specializes in
imports. The good places are pretty easy to find if you ask around of people
who own older imports.

You can get the part discounted from a number of on-Line Lexus dealers like
Bell in AZ.
