Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / October 2003[Asking for Advice] Power Steering Pump/Hose Leaking [89 Oldsmobile]
I have 89' Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Today I brought my car to a dealer shop for power steering problem. They said power steering pump and hose were leaking, and would cost $800 to replace them. [Q1] Does it usually cost that much? [Q2] Is it relatively easy to replace them? even only pump? or hose? or both? [Q3] If it is, where is the good starting point? e.g., shop for necessary parts, instructions, references, and so on. Your comment will be appreciated. J. >I have 89' Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

You should be able to get the hose replaced at any independent garage for between $100.00 - $150.00. Have them give you a second opinion on whether the pump is leaking or not. Even if the pump needs to be replaced your bill should be a lot closer to $400.00 than what the dealer wants. > >I have 89' Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

It's snaked all around the rear underside of the engine. You can't even get at the steering rack with the car on a hoist. I have no idea how they'd remove the lines from the rack, but I do know that there is MUCH labour involved! >> >I have 89' Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

Actually I own a 91 cutlass and replaced the pressure hose on the power steering last summer. Its really not that hard if you have two elbows in your left arm. |
