iggy Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 hi will a triumph stag power steering pump be a straight replacement, for the pump on my mk2 2500? also have any of you guys fitted a power steering pump from another make of car electric or engine driven? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Moore Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Don't know whether a Stag's hydraulic pump would fit, but there must be an exchange service if your pump needs overhauling. As for electric power steering, EZ Power Steering have kits for classics - http://www.ezpowersteering.nl/type/434/140/Triumph_TR_6.html. They're not cheap though and would still need adapting to suit your car. Best option is to overhaul what you've got. I've read that the pump's valves can be adjusted to make the steering heavier or lighter, too, if that's any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nang Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Rack is the same (or very similar) so I don't see that the pump would be different. Might pay to check the mounting points though.Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 thanks for the info nick, the stag pump looks to have the same mounting points as mine but is fitted to a different bracket, my pump appears to be making the sort of noise you would expect to be a worn bearing but in the triumph 2000 2500 operations repair manual I have there is no bearing shown on the exploded diagram of the pump which seems strange to me, all I can find is seal repair kits from the various triumph parts suppliers, ive replaced the alternator and water pump with new ones so that 'should eliminate them also ive put some wd40 on the shaft which has stopped the noise temporarily, can any one confirm if theres a bearing in the pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StagNL Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I rebuilt mine not too long ago and there was no bearing in it. Pretty sure the axle runs directly in the housing face with a groove to 'pump' eventual leaking oil back in.Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
