Re: 90 Ls400, Power Steering Pump, Part 2

Hi Jerohm

Seems like you got the pump at a bargain price so that's the good
news.  Others will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that if you
do NOT get a puff of white smoke on start-up, then your air control
valve is still OK - so take it off your old pump and swap across.
Easy when it's all out  of the car.

GETTING it out of the car --- Ah, well, that's a different story!

Have a good holiday.
