The power steering pump was originally made by Saginaw Industries, once a part of AC Delco and GM. It was used on a number of US made cars including some models of the Chevy Cavalier. The pump can fail due to a combination of age, low fluid level, and overheating. Common symptoms are leaks at the shaft and/or excessive noise while turning the wheel. (Note: Noise made when the wheel is turned all the way to the stop and held there is normal, not a sign of a bad pump!)
The pump is replaceable with any Saginaw CB-series pump which has the same pulley type and inlet and outlet sizes, and same flow control valve. The one shown above was rebuilt from a core for more performance-oriented steering by AGR Performance in Texas. The cost of the rebuilt pump was about $125 with all new moving parts, high temp seals, and ~40% more flow.
