Hey all, my girlfriends 1992 4x4 4runner with the 6.0 has a loud and leaky power steering pump with a wobbly pulley. I have a couple questions because I purchase parts. The seal on the back of the pump seems to be the source of the leak, rebuild kits dont seem much cheaper than a reman pump so I'm leaning towards the reman route. Which pump is recommended? If I buy a Cardone pump without the reservoir will the wobbly power steering pulley issue be fixed or do I need to buy a new pulley separately? Will I also need to buy new seals for attaching my original reservoir to the reman PS pump or do these reman pumps usually come with the reservoir seal? Thanks!

I would replace your pump and pulley for sure. Napa should have everything for your vehicle. i recently replaced my ps pump and belts on my 93 four runner.

If you have the ability to rebuild, if it's a toyota part, that's what I'd recommend. At least that way you know the quality of work where you don't with a reman.

I agree with prcnctoyo, I prefer a good used oem part to anything aftermarket or sold as rebuilt.
My recommendation is to take it out and diassemble. Take pictures as you do, especially the vanes. Those are the one thing you need to get properly oriented when reassembling. But it's fairly straightforward.
As long as there's no metal damage in the pump it should be fixable.

If I go the route of rebuilding the OEM pump then would I need to purchase a new pulley to fix the bit of wobble I notice in the pulley or is a bit of wobble acceptable? Does anything in the pump seal kit affect the wobble in the pulley? Thanks
