Van LQ4 power steering pump

LQ4's from vans typically come with power steering pumps that have remote reservoirs. If you want to keep everything together you can substitute a late model truck pump and reservoir as a one-for-one swap.

If you have an original power steering pump on hand pull out the power steering flow valve before discarding the pump. You can use this valve in the late model power steering pump so stock-type power steering pressure hoses fit without an o'ring adapter.

If you had to use the custom engine mount brackets mentioned in a previous post you really do not want to use an o'ring adapter as the clearance between the power steering pump and engine mount bracket ear is minimal. See below:

Stock-type power steering lines were rebent to connect the power steering pump to the power steering box. Universal lines may be a better option. I had new stock-type lines on hand so I made them work.
