[90 Lumina]

Hi all,
I was wondering how hard it is to change the power steering pump in a 1993 Ford Taurus with the 3.8? Thanks

Hi,
Why do you have to remove the rear engine mount? Thanks

Never did a pump on a 3.8 engine even though my son's car has that engine, also 93 year.. I'll have to look at it tomorrow, have done 3.0 94 model, pretty easy on that one, also 87.. the instructions I posted are right off a repair disc. According to those, the sho engines and the 3.8 require the mount to be removed, maybe another poster on here knows differently from experience with this engine,, what's the problem with your pump??? Noise, leakage??

Hi,
I haven't looked at the car yet (its sitting at my buddys place). But I'm told that the car has no steering. Thanks
