so i think everthing in my belt system decided to go haywire...i replaced the water pump a few months ago and now there is a very horrible sound coming from the front of the engine. upon examination, i noticed that the back of the power steering pump had fluid all over it and it was dripping a bit...so i'm pretty sure its done. it hasn't locked up yet, but i definitely don't want it to come to that.
heres the info:
98 XJ 4.0 with A/C....180,000 miles approx...2nd time i replaced the water pump
how tricky is this to do and what tools will i need? it looks pretty straight forward, but i've never done a power steering pump before so any advice would be helpful
Also...i'm sure its just coincidence that the water pump and powersteering pump both kicked the bucket within a month, but is there anything i should be concerned about
