I was cleaning off and removing my power steering pump (vane pump), as I was getting ready to rebuild it with the Toyota pump reseal kit (PN 04446-14040). I noticed that it was a rebuilt pump and looked worn. Before I tear into it, my question is this. Has anyone noticed a difference between the Cardone rebuilt pumps and stock Toyota pumps? I'm thinking of just getting a Cardone from Kragen's and throwing that in there.
I have also read most of the PS pump threads on TVP, including the very informative Removal/Install thread http://www.toyotavanpeople.com/forum...php?f=2&t=4413.
