1997 E420 power steering pump
I'm having a hard time finding a power steering rebuild kit for my 1997 E420 with the M119 engine. I seem to see them for all different Mercedes models except that one. Is this a different pump than on the 320?

MB stop selling PS rebuild kits after W124 models, but owners found that BMW is using the same pumps and they do have rebuild kits.
Go to a forum designated for helping and you will find the info.

Just a quick update. I located the leak and it was coming from the front seal. Read up a little more on these pumps and ordered a Hebmuller PS repair kit for a W124. The seals were all identical to the ones on my pump. There were also some extra ones I did not need, possibly for between the pump and the tank.
Either way, the pump has been dry for the last 500 miles or so. Best $11.95 I've spent in a while. Plus a free learning experience on how power steering pimps work!
