An easy answer is all of those. The rack is always working as well as the pump, a pump going bad might make the rack work a little harder, witch will lead to it going sooner. As well as seals, they all go an any model from every maker, just depends on how soon. Milage, time, dirt, and abuse are all factors. A poop pump will also starve the system, it being the "heart", the hoses are the "veins" the rack being like the "organ". all needs to work together, if one part is weak the rest of the system feels it. Hope this helps.

I have a Saturn 1992 SL Sedan with 164,000 miles. I am having a major problem with the car cutting off while I am driving at a fairly constant speed or when I am idling at a stop light. The engine will shut off, along with the power steering and all other electronics. This happens when at a stop light only after I press on the gas to accelerate from a dead stop, but I am able to put the car in neutral and start the car again (sometimes it takes a while to restart). We tried getting the electronic control module repaired, but this did not fix the problem. We checked the oil and it appears to be of the correct viscosity for the engine. We are at our ends as to what needs to be done to fix this dire problem. Thank you for your time! 8 Answers
