Power Steering Pump Replacement

[Gurucrunch]

The power steering pump is going out on my 2006 turbo Baja. Everything I can find is saying the part is discontinued and none of the aftermarket parts seem to have the right geometry. The parts interchange also seems to indicate this pump is a unicorn and only used on the turbo models of the baja. Does anybody know of other models of Subaru where this particular pump was used so I can start looking in the junkyards? What about retrofitting a different pump? The alternator belt tensioning mechanism is part of the ps pump bracket so I don't know if that will work. If anybody has some insight on this it would be appreciated.

Looks like you can still buy remanufactured ones

It should be the same part on the 03-08 Forester XTs though.

Before you go spending a lot of money, what are your symptoms? Dennis

I have a 2006 Turbo Baja. I replaced the power steering pump with a factory one from Subaru in late 2019 early 2020. From the looks of it, it is the same unit used for many Subarus of the same generation.
