    Power steering

    And also is their a DIY for the pump?

    Thank you,
    Wil

    Do you still have power steering working now? I waited till mine went out one day prior to fixing.

    In the past 'BMA Autoparts" in California has had excellent prices on BMW parts. I was a member of a different E34 BMW forum before...and BMA gave us special pricing. Not sure if it's necessary to mention that you are a member of a BMW forum group...but it can't hurt. Two brothers run the operation (Yves and ?) and they are very helpful and professional. I have made many purchases from them without any problems. The shipping costs are often the same as what you would pay in local sales taxes on your purchase...and they ship out quickly - right to your (garage) door :-)
    PS: i would always call them - because their website isn't the greatest...and it hasn't always accurately represented what they have or what they can get.

    I don't know the answer to that yet...I'm going to pick her up on Wednesday. The shop charged me $200 for replacing my motor mounts as well as a mounting bracket that had broken. $160 was labor and $40 for the bracket. I was expecting the bracket to be much more since they ordered it from BMW.

    Thank you that is going to really be useful... I think I'm going to order it soon and just replace the pump myself.

    It doesnt seem like it takes a rocket scientist to change it haha

    Here is the site the pump is on:

    So I went to carparts.com and found the parts i want to replace and there is an issue with the math on the website lol

    Replacement Power Steering Reservoir: 13.50
    Replacement Power Steering Pump: 102.49
    Cohline Power Steering Hose (Cooling Coil to Reservoir): 32.95
    Cohline Power Steering Hose (Rack to Cooling Coil): 58.95

    Now the prices add up to a total of: 207.89
    Shipping: 5.50

    Now in my shopping cart on the website it says that my subtotal is 148.94.....??????
    Clearly the prices add up to 207 but it says that 148 is my subtotal and my final total is 154.44.

    What is wrong??? lol

    I think power steering was developed for ease of driving true enough, but while a vehicle is in motion, it requires less strength to turn it than it would if it were sitting still.
