Gates 348558 Power Steering Repair Review

Works great. Sealed old restored pumps. I think all remanufactured pumps leak very soon after replacement. The kit is cheap and solved the problem. I got tired of turning it on and off to get a new one that did the same after a few months.

Great P/S recovery kit, it eliminated the COLD START NOISE that was only present on morning starts, squeaking/swirling/foaming fluid from the ACCORD 04's P/S pump. I saved a lot of money thanks to their kit saved a few hundred dollars by caulking the pump and am very happy. Great product, I will continue to buy in the future.

Great kit! The Revain manual says this kit is not compatible with my vehicle (2010 Accord EXL. V6). But I went with my gut and luckily the seals in this kit are perfect for the power steering pump in my car! Like other reviews, I wish this kit came with a high pressure hose seal, but considering the dealer charged me $43 for the main seal alone (pear shape), this kit is a great value👍🏻

I finally found the time to overhaul the pump by replacing all the seals. I've traced the shaft bearing, I obviously recommend replacing it if your car has 360,000+ miles like the Honda Pilot 05, but that's up to you.

All in all I only spent about $18 for the bearing, $2.50 for the extra o-ring and $30 for this repair kit

It is quite common for power steering pumps on Honda/Acura vehicles to tend to leak after around 10 years. This kit fixes most of these leaks. It's relatively easy to install. The total time is about 2 hours from uninstall, restore and reinstall. For some Acura/Honda models you will also need a Dorman 926-157 general purpose o-ring. This is the o-ring for the power steering hose. You'd be crazy not to replace that o-ring when you do everything else. While you're at it, drain the power steering…

I am a huge Gates fan and have been using their products for years. I have not reviewed the individual Honda O-rings so I cannot judge the value of a Gates kit versus buying OEM replacements. Most options for the location of the seal were obvious (comparing o-ring size, thickness and diameter), but I couldn't find a suitable option for the high pressure line. I had a hard time installing the high pressure line without damaging the o-ring. I finally managed to stay properly and tighten. My…
