ballpeen1 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 hello, my 90 loyal 4wd wagon 5 speed w/230,000 miles has a power steering pump pulley and shaft that is wobbling around and ready to fly apart. i have owned it for about four months and the effort to steer it always seemed pretty hard. after i noticed the pulley wobble i checked the fluid and its not showing on the stick. who knows how long its been run like that. but i apparently have not had power steering since i owned it. this car has air conditioning so i wonder if its possible to run this without the pump altogether or if i must replace it? or where is good place to get a cheap used pump? i don't see a way to run with out it but not sure, and also is the rack ok without it? any help is appreciated. i got this for 50 dollars and i want to maintain it as cheaply as possible while keeping it reliable. the a/c currently doesn't work, but i may fix that this summer........... i already replaced front wheel bearings/seals. new clutch and bigger wheels/mud tires coming soon. runs perfect and feels like more than 90 h.p. tons of fun in mud and snow!!

zyewdall Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Where are you located? I have an extra one but would have to ship it unless you're in Colorado. If you're in a subaru rich area like the NW, it's probably easier to just get another one. If you're in the east... no one's heard of subaru's, and maybe shipping it would be worth it.

Z I totally agree with this. You don't see hardly any Subarus compared to Toyotas and Nissans here in Va. Slim pickings in our local wrecking yards as far as Subarus go as well.
