Hi everyone, i'm new to this site and so far it's been a blessing and really helpful to me, so thank you for existing.
I'm mainly looking for a place in Melbourne that sells reconditioned steering pumps or even the seal kit ...
I know there are heaps of threads on this subject but i have been going cross-eyed trying to find someone who sells these. The best i found was a seal kit for $170, no way... I also called a major Toyota parts dealer who told me they only sell new things and couldn't help me with the seal kit...
I'm not a mechanic but im willing to give the seal thing a go since there are some pretty detailed examples of DIY online...but if there's anyone selling the actual pump for under $300 i'd be very happy.

Hi Dave, yes that's the price i'd expect for the kit but i cant find anywhere that sells it or a second hand pump. I called up Toyotas r us and they wouldnt help me with a seal kit, just told me to try Burson auto parts which i didnt get round to.. I'd rather just fit a second hand pump to be honest.
