Power steering pump question
As I had replaced almost all stuff under the hood - and have some no-name rebuilt pump installed, was thinking about installing new one.
It still works, no issues, but I suspect that pressure it creates is lower than expected to be.
Surprised to see that original oem pump is 600-800, while copies like A-Premium (not the worst company) are 60-100 bucks.
Can anyone explain why price difference is so huge ? Does it worth to buy non-original one (and change it up to 10 times) instead of buying oem ?
Or - possibly - there some non-oem, but higher performance devices available at the market for same / lower price ?
Thanks !

This is what I went with. I've got a SC so really wanted to get the reinforced option. I'm a firm believer in buy it right and buy it once.
