Chrysler Cirrus/Stratus/Sebring/Avenger/Breeze 1995-1998
Power Steering Pump - REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

Cirrus, Stratus, Sebring Convertible and Breeze
(see Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4)

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the left strut tower. The ground cable is equipped with an insulator grommet, which should be placed on the stud to prevent the negative battery cable from accidentally grounding.
2. Siphon as much power steering fluid out of the reservoir as possible.
3. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
4. Remove the right front tire and wheel assembly.
5. Remove the splash shield from the right front wheel well.

Fig. 1: Power steering pressure hose attachment to the pump-with Variable-Assist steering



Fig. 2: Power steering pressure hose attachment to the pump-without Variable-Assist steering

1. Disconnect the power steering pressure hose from the pump.
2. Remove the hose connection on the power steering pump.
   

Fig. 3: Typical power steering pump front bracket attachment

1. Remove the power steering adjusting bolt.
2. Remove the power steering pump rear attaching bolt.
3. If so equipped, remove the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) hydraulic control unit heat shield.
4. Remove the wheel speed sensor retainer bracket from the right inner fender.
5. Remove the wheel speed sensor sealing grommet from the right inner fender.
6. Disconnect the speed sensor wiring.
7. Push the wiring through the hole in the inner fender.
   

If not equipped with anti-lock brakes, the hole will just have a sealing plug.

1. Remove the bolt attaching the power steering front bracket to the mounting bracket. Access to the bolt is gained through the hole for the speed sensor wiring.
2. Remove the power steering pump drive belt.
3. Remove the power steering pump and the front bracket as an assembly.
   

To install:

1. Install the power steering pump and bracket.
2. Reinstall the bolt at the adjusting slot, but do not tighten.
3. Reinstall the bolt mounting the power steering pump to the rear mounting bracket, but do not tighten.
4. Reinstall the power steering pump top bolt, but do not tighten.
5. Reconnect the power steering hoses.

Fig. 4: Install a new O-ring gasket on the hose fitting
Use a new O-ring when reinstalling the power steering pressure hose.

1. Reinstall the drive belt.
2. Adjust the drive belt and tighten the power steering pump bolts to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).
3. Reinstall the splash shield.
4. Reinstall the tire and wheel assembly.
5. Lower the vehicle.
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
7. Refill the reservoir and bleed the power steering system.

Sebring Coupe and Avenger

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove (drain, suction pump, etc.) as much power steering fluid as possible.
3. Disconnect the return fluid line. Remove the reservoir cap and allow the return line to drain the fluid from the reservoir. If the fluid is contaminated, disconnect the ignition high tension cable and crank the engine several times to drain the fluid from the gearbox.

Cover any components located underneath the power steering pump with a shop towel to protect them from damage due to power steering fluid spillage. For example, the A/C compressor or alternator, depending on vehicle and engine, is below the power steering pump, so cover the A/C compressor or alternator with a shop towel before removing any hoses.

1. Loosen (but do not remove) the power steering pump mounting bolts and remove the drive belt.
2. Remove the pressure switch connector from the side of the pump.
3. Disconnect the pressure line.
4. Unbolt and remove the pump from the mounting bracket.

To install:

1. Clean all parts well. Inspect the pump pulley for cracks. Check the hoses carefully for cracks or signs of weakness.
2. Install the pump, wrap the belt around the pulley and lightly tighten the mounting bolts.
3. Replace the O-rings and connect the pressure line. Connect the pressure line so the notch in the fitting aligns and contacts the pump's guide bracket. Tighten the fitting to 13 ft. lbs. (18 Nm).
4. Connect the return line and secure with the clamp.
5. Fasten the pressure switch connector.
6. Adjust the power steering belt for proper tension and tighten the adjusting bolts.

Use only MOPAR ATF PLUS automatic transmission fluid type 7176, ATF+3 automatic transmission fluid, or equivalent, in the power steering system of Sebring coupe and Avenger models.

1. Refill the reservoir and bleed the power steering system.

Hope this help to solve it (remember comment and rated this). TY for using Fixya.

Fig. 6: Exploded view of the power steering pump mounting-late-model 4.3L engines (1993-96 shown)



Fig. 7: Typical power steering pump hose routing-1996 shown


The following procedure requires the use of the GM Puller tool No. J-29785-A (1985-92), Puller J-25034-B (1993-96) or equivalent, and the GM Pulley Installer tool No. J-25033-B or equivalent.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable for safety.
2. For 1996 vehicles, remove the air cleaner assembly for access.
3. For 1993-96 vehicles, remove the hood latch and the upper fan shroud.
4. Release tension and remove the drive belt.
5. Remove the power steering pump pulley using a suitable puller tool.
6. Remove the power steering pump retaining bolts, then reposition the pump as necessary for access to the hoses.
7. Position a fluid catch pan under the power steering pump.
8. Remove the hoses from the power steering pump and drain the excess fluid into the catch pan.

WARNING Be sure to cap all openings in the pump hydraulic system to prevent excessive fluid spillage and the possibility of system contamination.

1. Remove the power steering pump from the vehicle.
   

To install:

1. Position the pump to the vehicle, then uncap and connect the pump hoses.

On early-model vehicles where the drive belt is tensioned by pivoting the power steering pump assembly, do NOT fully tighten the mounting bolts at this time, since you will just have to loosen them again for belt installation and adjustment.

1. Install the pump pulley using the GM Pulley Installer tool No. J-25033-B or equivalent. Press the drive pulley onto the power steering pump.
2. Hand-tighten the pivot bolt, the adjusting bolt and the washer.
3. Install the drive belt. On early-model vehicles so equipped, properly adjust the belt tension. For details on belt installation and tension adjustment.
4. For 1993-96 vehicles install the upper fan shroud and the hood latch assembly.
5. For 1996 vehicles, install the air cleaner assembly.
6. Connect the negative battery cable.
7. Refill the power steering reservoir and bleed the power steering system.
8. Remove the jackstands and carefully lower the vehicle.
9. Road test the vehicle, then check and top-off the power steering fluid.

hope this help (remember rated this post) Good luck.

Really stupid question but did you get the correct belt and did you adjust the belt tensioner? On vehicles with spring type tensioner it must be pried back and then released. Slide type tensioners are usually either part of the pump bracket or alternator bracket assembly.

need to know year? engine size?what accesories equipped? a/c power steer smog pump etc.
