98 Odyssey Power Steering Pump

Is there anything available besides new from Honda. I am told 98 Oasis is a
diffferent part, and the older and newer models are different. Price is
over $500. Any suggestions?

Fluid appears to be fine and no contamination as yet in system. Bearing(s)
apparently shot and about to liberate material. Sounds like electric hedge
trimmers when it runs.

richard,

Great word picture. I'd take some photos or sketches along to a wrecking
yard and see if there's something the same in an trashed Accord or
Civic.

Specific part number only appears on 98 Odysseys. So far parts from other
models/years don't fit or have hose fittings in wrong locations.

Richard,
That's what I was getting at about having sketches or pictures along.
Just find a pump that's the same (basically) as yours, and change the
brackets / hose connectors to make it the same. I'm guessing the 'body'
and guts of that pump has to be in use on a few other models (even the
pulley might be different diameter).

I like a challenge, but it depends on what your time is worth, too.
