Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! We do so every day. Turnaround times vary based on season and other factors, but we endeavour to make it as quick as possible.

In some cases, we can. It varies depending on the manufacturer. Reach out for more information on your specific make/model of vehicle.

Not recommended! We can always tell when it’s been used. Seals become soft and swell to 3 times their original size. It may temporarily stop the leak; however, it will soften all the seals and hoses in the system causing everything to leak later on.

You do! Very important when changing a component to start its new life with some fresh clean fluid!

Many gears have relief poppets which are designed to protect the vehicle from damage caused by oversteering. During the reman process we pull these poppets out as far as possible to allow for different installation situations. We will always include poppet setting instructions. We are always just a phone call away if there are any questions.

Air in the system most likely. Hydraulics compress air, once the pump is shut off, that air expands again causing the overflow. The system needs the air removed. Often this is as simple as just allowing it to sit and let the air come out naturally after a few hours.

Check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer's approved fluids. Some vehicles require special fluids to allow for smaller reservoirs, prevent foaming, and adhere to the requirements of different seal compounds.

You sure will. The pump will be destroyed for sure, and the gear is designed for emergency control only without a supply of steering fluid. Prolonged driving will likely damage it as well.
