Review on Steering Pulley 2004 2006 2002 2006 2004 2008 by Mark Jefferson

Attention buyers, even after bleeding the power steering, the wheel will be hard on you!

After I first installed this power steering pump on my 1MZ-FE 2003 Toyota Camry V6 to fix a high side power steering fluid leak, the performance was great for 20 miles after doing the road test and bleeding the car had power steering. When my wife drove to work (30 km), the steering became stiff again! I thought maybe the belt tension was loose so I re-tightened the belt thinking it was the problem, WRONG! After driving 60 miles across South Jersey thinking the system was air bound it didn't work, steering would have been great and then it came back with a hard steering wheel! I've baked some donuts in industrial lots, jacked up my car and slung it from lock to lock at least 100 times! After learning that all I needed from the other pump was the o-ring on the high side fitting, I replaced it on the fore pump and voila, the problem was solved. I would not recommend purchasing this product if you are trying to save money; In my opinion it's better to buy a rebuild kit or OEM to avoid having this headache I've had to deal with.
