That amount of hours seems excessive. Call a few shops in your area and find out what the recommended book time is including fluid flush.
No. Kind of a bear to do on cab-over E vans. No more than a couple hours. Hour at most for the pump R&R. But then there's replenishing the fluid and bleeding the power steering system.
even if one of the mount bolts can't clear the radiator, i won't take nine hours.
astro vans are about the same.
be advised though, the amount of time a shop has a vehicle may not be related to actual time on your vehicle. Yours is likely not the only one they have to fix.
Time in the shop, OK; time for the job, too much. Ask around.
- If my power steering pump and pulley break, is there any other parts I may have to potentially replace? Last night when I was driving, my power steering pump busted and also broke my power steering pulley. I have a 2002 ford Taurus. In the process of the pulley breaking off, the serpentine belt came off. It is still on the car so I just have to re position it once the new pulley is on. My question is through this incident, could anything else have broken? I just did a bypass pulley for the AC compressor last week. And I also replaced the serpentine belt last week.
- Why does my power steering pump squal when I turn? I have checked the fluid and it fine… It is a 2000 ford ranger with 4.0 V6 engine. It has a 3 inch body life and oversize mud tires… Would large tires cause it to whine? Or do I need to just change my pump?
- When changing the power steering pump on a KA (54) can you use PTFE tape to seal the pressure line from pump? I have changed the power steering pump on a ford KA (54) and when removing the pressure line from the pump there was some kind of seal on it but I don't know what it was, so I was hopping that PTFE tape would do the same job at sealing the thread. Any help please. Andy.
