Yes.  When I replaced the pump and rack & pinion on the '84 last year, I used
rebuilt stuff.  The rack was fine, but I wen through three pumps and seven
quarts of pentosin in five days getting a pump that would work.  the pumps
looked fine, and worked at first, but after a while (ten miles on the first
one, 125 on the second) they started SPURTING pentosin out of one of the bolts
on top.  Not the bolts holding the hoses on, the bolts that have the + cast
into them, so I guess they're really big screws.  Whatever, I had a stream that
shot ten feet in font of the car when I popped the hood.
