OH NO! p/s problems with my 1990 LS400
Ok,
So i dropped it off to get a checkup, and im told that the p/s pump/pressure hose/steering rack
are all leaking and that the parts would be 1200$ and labor 500$...i looked the parts up online and i found them all for about 700$
was wondering if anyone has ever replaced all of these and how difficult it would be because i do have access to a garage and tools...all im lacking is the book...
thanks for your help again!

did you notice all these things leaking ?
do you leave any wet spots when you park ??
have you looked under your car??
have you considered Lucas products ??

Yes, a leaking PS pump is a very common problem. Basically, the seals inside the pump deteriorate over time and need to be replaced. You, or your mechanic needs to rebuild the pump. They make a rebuild kit with all the gaskets you need for $25 or so, a new bearing is about $10. I'm getting ready for a PS pump rebuild myself....

It is definitely possible that all three need to be replaced. I had a leaky steering rack myself and had my mechanic replace it. The pressure hose is probably just a good thing to replace because it too may be leaking.
I think you should just bite the bullet and get it all fixed........
