I have a crack in my power steering pump bracket. Everything still feels solid and nothing is moving around I just happened to notice it when I was underneath my jeep. What should I do about it.

 

HI ho HI ho...Off to the boneyard you go....

 

That looks like its a bolt for the belt tensioner. The power steering pump is through bolted to the bracket and the bracket is attached to the manifold and water pump. I would only expect trouble when you need to adjust the belt tension. I think your OK driving your Jeep until you can find a new bracket.


The bolt on the bottom left attaches to the bottom of the cast bracket. Follow the dashed line.

 

Looks like that is part of the intake manifold.

 

I got a new one with a tensioner off eBay for like 64 bucks. Just gonna leave it for now. Don't know how long it's been like that to be honest and I just drove all the way way to Florida and back from NC so I'm just gonna leave it since it has been driving fine.

 

when it fails you will be stuck it the steering pump comes loose, you loose the fan and water pump and alternator belt replace it BEFORE total failure is my advice. else you will be stranded.

 

Alright I replaced it. So I should be good now
