DRIVESTAR 21 5271 OE Quality Steering Tribute Review

Good overall but missing a key o-ring. This is a gasket on the return side of the pump between the screw on the pipe and the pump body. After searching for one to no avail, I used the old one with a light coat of Permatex sealer. In my opinion not the best solution.

Works great as expected. The adapter for one of the fluid lines had to be removed so I could screw on the stock steering fluid line as the nut diameter was larger. The good thing is that it comes with an adapter. So if you don't need it, you can just remove it. Four stars at the moment because I haven't used it very much, maybe in a year I'll come back and give it five stars.

I found it to be a really good comparable power steering pump compared to the old pump. It went on easily considering I'm working on an old Ford. However, I don't like that the O-ring is missing. Let's just say without them you could just pour all the power steering fluid right on the floor. No matter how tight it is, it will break out. So I found one at my local hardware store and it still works. It makes a little more noise from lock to lock, but not always.
