Vintage Cars: W107 560SL 87, forward operation, 560sl


Question
Ron - couple of questions:
1. Can you recommend a parts house for a power steering pump?  Vickers or ZF?  do you reccomend one vs the other?

2. Is there any thing I need to know on how to change? Seems fairly straight forward.

thanks for your help.. 1987 560SL W107

Answer
I use Autohausaz
http://www.autohausaz.com or Phil at MBparts.com
Rock auto is also good.  Most of the pumps can be rebuilt with a seal kit. You are correct straight forward operation, no real "gotchas" that I can think of, other than keeping the area (lines) free of dirt.
Good luck, let me know if you run into trouble
