Power Steering Pump

Ertsride1 · **Posted:** Mon Oct 22, 2007 9:05 pm

I have a 04 Libby with a weak power steering pump has anyone ever replaced one? Mine is leaking out of the lower connection and in the winter it whines for about 15 minutes until the fluid gets warm. Is there a place to download a free service manual or does someone have a pdf file to send to me? if not does anyone have a scanner and can send that chapter to me via email. I dont have the 150 bucks it takes to acquire one from jeep and have enought to buy a pump. any help would be appreciated please. Thanks Garrett

No problem with the pump, I had the pressure line leak and replaced under warranty.

I just replaced mine with a remanufactured one a couple days ago due to the cold whinning noise. Pretty easy. Unfortunatley the bearings started skweaking today. Called them up (lifetime warranty on pump) they ordered me a new one. Its one pressure line (open end wrench) one return line (hose clamp) and three mounting bolts and thats it. Actually if you order one from autozone it comes with directions, well at least mine did. The hains manuals are cheap, not as good. But pretty good.

dumb question but what kind of p/s fluid is needed? Says use Mopar power steering fluid or equivelent? Does this take the clear fluid or the red fluid which is pretty much trans fluid? My fluid is black so i can't tell, my pump is starting to leak but no that bad yet. I hate going to the dealer for stuff they'll charge me $30 a pint. They charge double msrp. :evil:

I don't know if they are the same as a 2002 Sport, if so PM me I have a Genuine Shop Manual. If So I'll have to try to figure out how to get it right on my copier scanner. Let me know, also find ot what the stealership is charging to do the job. Sometime that can be a factor.
Good Luck

Are you still under warrenty? I had a power steering line leak that I was able to get replaced. Of course this was after 4 trips to the dealer and them saying there was nothing wrong, even though I had a puddle every time I parked the thing. It took my bf going in, showing them where the leak was while the Jeep was on the lift for them to find it. But anyways, they did replace it.

I believe all years on the gassers are the same. It is a pretty easy job. The 2002 manual will have the wrong fluid type though. Chyrsler released a notice in 2004 that superseeds that and our 2002 owner manual that says NOT to use ATF.
