Ebay is fine. I get my pumps from a seller in Strathfield called suzukisuper. Best to get one with the pulley on it.

Reconditioned is a bit cheaper than new.

My ls1 did the same thing.

I got my alternator from Repco. It's the 140a Mitsubishi one they came out of the factory with. Do you know anyone who can get you trade price? I think I paid $350nzd with a 3 year warranty.

The seal kit for ps pump is $50 from holden (2 orings and a shaft seal. provided its not too whiney and in need of vanes could be a good option). The pulleys a bastard to get off and back on. Use the proper tool or support the shaft when you press it back on. Otherwise you'll have to buy a reconned one afterall like me.

Edit: as linked above the new ps pumps don't come with pulleys so you'll have to swap it anyway. Might as well just do the seals.

Thanks for the info guys, the steering pump is alittle whiney but i think thats cause its low on fluid ,
yeah if i get 1 new or reco ill try and get 1 wit hthe pulley already on seems to be a pain in the arse to deal with otherwise lol
what price did you pay for your 1 from holmart mate?

hey mate i did my power steering pump seal kit not long ago. you dont need to pull the pulley off, try msg a guy called suzuki super on ebay and get a seal kit for $15 i think, easy to do with basic knowledge, search my previous posts if you need anything or shoot me a pm. and mine doesnt leak at all now, as for alternator i got mine recon'd for $220 but u might be able to find cheaper on ebay.
