Jeep JK (Pentastar) power steering pump replacement, some pumps work better than others

While out on a trail run, the power steering pump in the Wrangler started to sound like a heart monitor with a high pitched beeping sound. So before it failed, a replacement new pump was ordered. As soon as I took the new PS pump out of the box, I could feel more play in it than the old one. It was a matter of time that the new fluid with the new pump started to smell burnt. Another new pump from the same company was ordered. Similar amount of play, and similar burning power steering smell. A remanufactured Mopar power steering pump (part number 5154400AC) was ordered. It had next to no play. Since replacing it, power steering fluid looks good and no longer smells burnt. 00:00 Introduction 00:51 Power steering pump location 01:46 Remove accessory belt 02:39 Power steering pump bolts 03:07 Disconnect pressure line 04:09 Disconnect supply line 04:35 Power steering pump removal 05:17 Drain remaining fluid 05:59 Power steering pump play between different units 07:34 Bracket removal and installation 09:50 New seal on pressure line 10:13 Power steering pump installation 10:53 Reconnect lines 11:30 Refill with ATF+4 and install belt 13:11 Test drive & conclusion
