I may be looking at getting a new PS pump do to, I think, over working it. I’m using a sequential blower so there will be added strain on the pump. Any suggestions on a good pump and really goood power steering rack. Oh, the c5 is a 99, no magnetic ride.
The rack is no where as important an issue as the pump.

Thanks for for the input ahead of time.

I have read good reviews on the Turn one pump and thier rebuilt racks. When it is time to do mine thats who I will talk to first

Move been looking at “Turn One,” too. They seem to be the go to. I just am having a hard time getting over the refab, remanufactured comments. I’m always Leary of that.

Is the rack leaking, squealing, loose? Is the pump leaking, squealing, putting metal in the fluid?

I just had a Turn One pump installed in my car. I opted to go with their aftermarket unit (specced for 1800 PSI instead of 1500) plus the pulley. Feels great. They told me it'd have extra steering effort at idle but I have not noticed this to be the case. If my steering rack needs to be pulled - a high likelihood but not confirmed so probably not gonna do it until it needs doing - then I will have them rebuild it as well. It seems to be the best option, versus new.

Your car is a 99 so the STOCK rack and pump lasted 20 years !!!!!
My opinion ? That is awesome ! Stay with stock GM parts !!

Your only choice as far as I know is to get a reman unit or have yours rebuilt. There are no other options that I have found but am all ears!
