$3500 rebate on my GM MC account). Reliability is important, Rav has

Previously, in this group I asked about quieting the power steering
pump on my 99 Ranger.  (I tried to reply to that thread instead of
starting another, but I don't see it posted)
Mine's a little more intense than most plastic-bodied pumps....

The bearing/bushing has failed on the smog pump on my '87 Isuzu Trooper
