> Hi Bob,

email for some time.  I decided to trouble shoot this problem by starting
with inexpensive stuff first, which is the PS pump.  I got a remanufactured
one from NAPA for $139 (with core exchange) and I also got a new high
pressure hose.  The steering rack that I have is the one with PPS.  If the
power steering is still lacking after replacing the PS pump+ High Pressure
hose, then I will have to send the steering rack to be rebuilt
(unfortunately, no one stocks remanufactured ones anymore!).  The rebuild
would cost about $400.  A new Toyota one from Jeff would be $850.

won't break my back to buy a new pump, but I have a feeling its not a pump
problem, especially since its not making grinding noise.
