My power steering pump has a leak. I will not be replacing it, my mechanic will. Every time I think I found one when I go in it say out of stock. Now I read I need a reverse rotation pump which I did not know. Does anyone know of a place that has one? I do have a turbo replacement brake system replaced last year. Thanks for the help.

It does looks like they have them though on Amazon:

Thank you, I will try to find one. The thing is right now I am waiting for a refund from Kirban and I have to go through the CC compand as I can't even get them to answer the phone. Have to make sure I get my money back first but I will look around to see where I can find one.

Thanks so much, just one quick question does the pump need a reverse rotation?

The 1986 Buick Regal's power steering pump is not reverse rotation.
