Hi all. Got a couple questions before I start this project of replacing the power steering pump. I bought this car and the guy I bought it from said pwr steering pump had extra hose in system that Chrysler didnt need. He decided it didnt need that much hose so he cut it off and reconnected the fluid hose back with about 5 feet now missing! I was really confused about how this guy knew more than the engineers at Chrysler so I asked him if I could take the part of the hose he removed with me. The pwr steering pump leaks everywhere. Its missing this long piece of hose dude took off that has metal about a foot long on the ends. I was under the car and found a white plastic pulley jammed in the area right above the lower cntrl arm. Just sitting all by itself not connected to nothing. Im sure its the pwr steering pulley laying up in there. I guess Im asking what would you guys, or gals, do in this situation? Like where would you start? It actually steers somewhat ok. Its obvious pwr steering isnt working but its not too bad. Had worse. I can go to u pull it and grab anything I need. Maybe the whole pump with the pulley in tact and buy a belt? Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a 99 sebring conv w 2.5 ltr 6 cyl. THANKS!!!
