PS parts, help me get all I need...
Hey all -
PS pump finally took a duke and am going to replace all minus the rack here. I'm looking for part numbers on the low pressure return lines, the vac lines in there, etc. Any tidbits/info are welcome.
I've read I can remove that check valve and go without (like on the SC), any downside to this? Seems to alleviate potential future issues as well as save a few beans in the process.

I just removed my idle up air valve. Boy, that old PS fluid in there is GROSS! Chunky and brown! I thought I was draining a septic tank on an RV.
Anyhoo, I noticed I was leaking power steering fluid from this point so I went to Kragen and got me a M14 1.50mm short bolt (shorter than the length of the original idleup valve for only $2.47. The vacuum caps cost only $2.50. Cheap solution for a $120 dealer part.
I didn't notice the idle drop down at all. Thank you Club Lexus and its members for teaching me how to save money and fix stuff myself! Now if I could only save up enough dough and rack my brains to do my timing belt...
