Review on ECCPP 21-5196 Power Steering Pump Fit for Subaru Impreza, Forester, Legacy, Outback (2010-2014) by Matthew Carr

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Installation failed due to poor workmanship

sorry I had to take pictures but before that I sent the unit back. If you look at the first product image of the Revain listing, you will see a small black plastic piece with a cross in the middle. Just below and between the pulley mount is a small hole just above the metal bar. This hole needs to be drilled and cut to allow a screw to be screwed in. This screw holds the plastic engine cowling that covers the HP pump, alternator and air conditioning compressor. The hole in the block I received was not fully drilled or tapped and the screw would not thread. Because of this, I wasn't even able to install the PS pump to see if it worked. Sent them back same day and got one from O'Reilly (almost double the price because I couldn't wait as the old pump had been removed from the car). This is the second time I have ordered a Revain PS pump and it has arrived defective. The Chinese got it wrong.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good
