This Power Steering Issue is Killing me!!! Need opinions and solutions.. please
So I have had this power steering failure for some time now... It resulted from a blown power steering pump gasket.. I could not find the recommended 1/64 gasket so I used a 1/32 gasket from auto zone and it sealed the leak, but I got no power steering from it..
So I took it apart and installed another gasket and extra tightened the bolts and still nothing. So I found a 1/64 gasket on Ebay and installed it and YAY! power steering was back! But the gasket was not the right material and blew out within a day. So I did another one and got power steering and it blew out again. Because its not the right material.
On these forums I have seen that people have used the 1/32 gasket from autozone and it worked great for them!! But I am getting nothing
So I went online and ordered a gasket from a company in England that had reviews saying this was the fix and a great buy!! Well the part came from Prague, Czech Republic and is was the freaking 1/32 size gasket I have been using!!
So I have tried RTV and fail... 1/64 gasket also Fail.. Now should I take a measurment with a Micrometer with the 1/64 gasket in it, then JB Weld the bastard together to that measurement and hope for the best???
Oh and I know buying new parts is the simple fix, so if you want to buy it for me I will make the simple fix.. :-P
