Aftermarket part rant
I feel your pain.
I bought a remanufactured power steering pump for my daughter's Jeep Grand Cherokee. Took it out of the box and set the pulley on the shaft. There is a output fitting on the pump that can be in a number of positions and of cource it was positioned directly in the way of the pulley.
I returned it and 2 days later they got another, same exact problem. Let's try pump #3, as if by magic it was in the correct position, problem is it was the #2 pump that someone at the store unbolted and rotated. I could have done that, but did not want to void the warranty or cause it to leak.
And don't get me started on "reproduction" parts that are sort of like the original, but mis the mark that can be spotted a me away.
