No Power Steering driving, possible?

[Bob]

Yeah, if it's seized, then no choice but a new pump.

Mine's still rebuildable.

I wonder how it managed to seize without giving you an earlier indication of possible failure.

Belt was a bit Noisy and you could hear the Pump working about 30 Minutes before it Seized.
That is all
Booked in for tomorrow Changeover Pump approx. $350/$400

OK 98 4.5L GU.
Power Steering packed in it today about 100 K's from Home.
I drove all the way home from Walhalla . The first part of the Trip 50K or so was really Windy coming through the Hills and then Freeway home.
Some of the switchbacks made me work hard but was doable. Freeway was a breeze.
Travelled at 100 kph on Freeway.
Found turning at slow speeds bloody hard.

Was going to call in and see Roofy but wanted to get home

Sorry Bob wasn't home was on the Wellington river camping

I've busted 5 power steering pumps. All bent the shaft so seized pump everytime. Most fun one was up the high Country and driving down hotham on 35's without power steering lol. About a 2 hour drive from hotham to home.

So yeah. Definitely driveable. Just a bit heavy to steer is all.
