replaced a power steering pump?

[bezzat]

Anyone here replaced a power steering pump?
I guess most of the pumps come in China and I thought about buying at Aliexpress
What do you say someone bought from there?
Another opinion - is it worth buying a Seal kit ?

I'd try a seal kit first.

not knowing what brands you have available there, its hard to recommend (I'm in the USA) but here we hear not so good stories about aftermarket parts from big box auto parts retailers so I usually try to get my parts reman from Mopar when available. If they are NLA, which is common on ZJs seeing as how the newest is 22 years old, I then go to an autoparts store where real mechanics get their parts not a big box store. Real mechanics don't want come-backs so those places tend to stock the better aftermarket brands. When I did the pump on our '98 ZJ I got a Mopar pump, I put it in about 6 ears ago still working fine. The OE lasted approx. 145,000 miles.

If it's just needing replacement due to a squeaky bearing you can just change that if you can get the pulley off. If the bearing fails completely it can damage a plate behind it which will mean the pump will need replacing. The bearing is is a 6203-2RS IIRC. I've changed mine in the past when waiting for a rebuild kit from rockauto which happened to go astray. I still have the kit somewhere as it's never been needed.

My bearing is noisy I was looking for a bearing according to the model you wrote but there are many types.
