How much end float is normal on an R33 power steer pump?

[benl1981]

Mine has about 3mm or more in and out movment. The pump is making lot of noise it seems and the fluid is kind of milky in the reservoir (like maybe air got in).

There is plenty of fluid in there.

New pump time I guess. Anybody know a place that recos them or approx cost to get a good second hand etc. Is it easy to tell the condition? Just check for play I guess

Thanks

what kind of noise? grinding?

You can buy a rebuild kit. (Ive got an rb20det pump)

The cheap kit for seals does o-rings and gaskets. It retails for around $35.

Next is the rotor and cam ring kit....its the part inside that does the pumping i guess. This is where the grinding noise i would say comes from. For the rb20 it has 2 of these - 1 in the front half of the pump for the power steering, and the rear for the HICAS. The rb20 one retails for $225 roughly, but yours being rb25, it doesnt run hicas off the pump so it will be cheaper.

Id say cost up a good second hand pump.

OR go to Nissan and ask them how much for the o-ring/gasket kit, the driveshaft for the pump, and

Thanks mate.

It s making kind of a grinding noise. Doesn't sound good at all. The fluid is milky (air in there). I might try bleeding the air out as I did find a hose that was very loose. Maybe I bumped it when removing the belt...
