my power steering pump is leaking bad around the base of the pump where it join to the reservoir, so i know this means i just need to buy a new pump, but was just wondering if anyone knew of a better pump they recommend or to just buy the one to replace mine. i thought there was somethinspecial about the old cadillac power steering pumps? something havingto do with more pressure or a bigger pulley or something. im running a 11" steering wheel and it sucks when i loose power steering when the pump is dry. getting this fixed asap, just wanted to know if there was something to do to make it better since i gotta go new.
