after changing my waterpump The whole thing, it's the so-called stainless steel cone fastening method to the aluminum housing that is suspect. Staking is not the best way to fasten the cone to the housing. The original was done much better than the new one? (Mine must have been made on one of those so called good days?) So I re-staked it. Original impeller was just like new 98 built 07/97 (the car). Brand new pump from the dealer complete w/ rubber hoses connected $ 122.51 including tax @6.25% At least I know were it stands, cheap insurance.
Terry How about stainless screws???????????
