1G Recommended Power Steering Pump?

[19MitsuEclipse90]

I have a 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2.0L automatic FWD. The power steering pump is leaking and I’d like to know what my options are for replacing it. It’s a pretty serious problem as it’s slowly leaking onto my alternator.

You can buy a rebuild kit. There are detailed instructions if you search here. Otherwise look for a rebuilt one at various parts stores, Rockauto has them, or find a used one. Assuming the leak is not from a line or fitting?

I'd recommend a rebuild/seal kit. They are pretty simple to rebuild if you take your time and observe the orientation of all the parts.
If you opt for a reman unit instead, get the reman installed and working before turning your old one in for core. Sometimes they leave off critical components that you have to swap or you get a DOA.

If it's leaking at the top piece (common) that isn't the pump its the orings or the line typically.

For reference: How to rebuild and modify a power steering pump

Do note that the 1990 pump is different from the 1991-1994 - it uses a different rebuild / seal kit. But the guide works pretty well to get you through.

Also worth pointing out that a 1991-1994 pump is a direct swap into a 1990 or vice versa.

Great point. Have you determined where the leak is coming from?
I have a Cardone rebuilt from Rock Auto. It works fine. I did need to obtain one if the pressure line orings, and that was a bit of magic. NAPA had one that worked!
