power steering pump

Post by rkg »

I am not able to find power steering pump for my 06 baja turbo. Dealer is asking 500$ for part. I can't pay that much. I tried Autozone/rockauto etc. they all said supplier is out of stock (duralast or a1cordone etc). 2000-2004 Legacy pumps seems to be compatible with non-turbo models but not turbo. everywhere I look i only find non-turbo model pumps, no pumps for turbo listed anywhere (ebay or even OEM parts from http://www.subaruparts.com etc list non-turbo only)

can someone pls suggest me a way out, other than that going to dealer? I found a guy who can replace the pump for 150$ instead of the 330$ dealer is asking for labor, is it worth it? the leak seems to be really small, can i just keep going by refilling the ps fluid once in a while?
