I think its the right powersteering pump but the dang power steering hose wont reach.


do I have the wrong power steering pump, It bolted right into the spot...

 

Post pics.

 

this is a temp picture.

untill I canget my brothers camera.

 

If you can, post pics of both units side by side. Is the hose that is too short the low pressure one? The high pressure one has threaded fittings. If it's the low pressure one, replace the hose, it probably needs it after 20+ years anyway.

 

I got the high pressure one threaded

 

sry for crappy pictures.

I got alot of the old one which is prob pointless but i couldnt get under teh car because of the dang cloths I was wearing ,maybe later.


but here they are




the old powersteering pump sticks straight up almost, mistake in the picture,

the new one sticks way out, but it fits.

I dont have it bolted onto the car in the pictures.

I just need a longer hose anyone have a longer hose??

 

here is the difference between the low pressure.


I am thinking it is a 2nd gen ps pump or a 3rd gen,

I just need a longer hose.

 

can I cut that tip off and get it welded to the new one?

 

2nd gen pumps are entirely different. Just get a longer hose and you should be good. Are you sure the new one came off a 7, or perhaps another Mazda?

 

I have no clue.

the guy brought it to a rotary mechanic.

jose here.

I guess he told him to get a 2nd gen pump.

I have a gsl se radiator on my car too.

oh well..

do you know if the 2nd gen hose will fit? I can just get one off the fourms? or website?

 

how many parts do i need to install powersteering to?just remember i run with a 2nd gen engine...

 

I have no clue,

im learning as I go on this engine.

ive never even seen the powersteering pump before on this engine.



I think you have to have a steering box that supports it?

 

Take the short hose off, take it to the parts store, tell them what it's for and how much longer of a hose you need. Bring the new hose home and install it. Done. Finished. Fini.

What I could also tell you is if the pumps are identical, the tanks can be changed. However, unless you can find the odd rubber gaskets for the tank, if will probably leak.

 

taking it to autozone ,advanced auto, oreillys, and to finish it off, lowes and homedepot if they dont have it.
