Sc430 ps pump
Anybody had any luck on replacing the ****ty leaky ps pumps on our 400's with a used sc430 pump? Seen a used one pulled from a wrecked 05 sc430 with 97k miles. Debating if I should buy a new oem pump or buy this used pump. I just don't want to buy a used pump and it's going to start leaking all over again. Thanks!

I would go with OEM but be sure you get the hoses and brackets, too. I've had to replace my power steering high pressure return line twice; it's a problem on the GS400 and SC430 as well. I probably check the level once a month just to make sure there are no leaks (so far so good).

I had recently replaced my ps pump with a crap 200 dollar afternarket ps pump. It whines and is non existent when I am not in motion. And sadly now I believe it is leaking again onto my alternator. Luckily I have warranty on my alternator. Just need to figure which route is best for me. Did you replace yours with a sc430 pump as well?

Actually I don't remember how much the actual pump was, the dealership put it in. I remember it was expensive to the tune of $800! You can find a OEM 2GS power steering pump on eBay for less than $200.
