Sunsong Power Steering Pump Seal Kit P/N:8401288
Reseal a leaking power steering pump instead of replacing the whole unit with the Sunsong power steering pump seal kit, MPN 8401007. It is a direct-fit application for the 1993-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser and the 1996-1997 Lexus LX450. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
A power steering pump relies on its seals to keep fluid contained so it can supply hydraulic assist to the steering system. Signs the pump's seals may need replacing include fluid seeping from the pump body, a reservoir level that keeps dropping, or pump whine caused by low fluid. Diagnose the source of any leak before ordering parts.
