1HZ power steering pump from ebay

[schneilo]

Hi all,
was wondering if anyone has had any experience or know of anyone who has purchased/installed a power steering pump off of eBay? you can buy a brand new one for around the $180 mark, considering an over-hall kit with new shaft is around $120 i figure why not spend the extra $50 or so.

would just really want to know if the parts are going to be up to scratch; being gear driven I'm not too keen on having the pump fail or seize and the possibility of stuffing the engine!

any input or if there is a thread relevant would be most helpful!

cheers

I would ask the ebay seller if they are OEM. There were some being sold that were from China and not lasting long
