Re: broken power steering bracket

any one know if the s-10 2.8 bracket is the same as the f-body bracket for the power steering pump?

bypassed the power steering pump for now with a shorter belt to get the car home. man how i hate driving cars with no power steering. gotta work a bit to get the car to turn.

Re: broken power steering bracket

I just had this problem come up. the bracket broke where it mounts to the engine - all three places. I could not find too much on the , so time to start making calls to the parts houses.

Re: broken power steering bracket

I found the same one. It's at "Camaroplace". I've known about that one for a few months, back when mine was only cracked and not in pieces like it is now. ��. It was $50. He has 2 left. He rose the price to 75 then 100. Now it is a wopping 110. $15 shipping. It hurts to buy it at that price since I'm going to be swapping out the motor in a few months. Oh well. It is my only car.
