Re: [Chrysler300] Power Steering Pump Pivot Bolt - 1961 G

[yelof@xxxxxxxx]

There is nothing unusual about the bolt and your description implies that
the one you have is either an unmarked or grade 2 bolt, both of soft
steel.  It can be replaced with either a grade 5 or 8 available at most
hardware stores.  With a hard bolt the bulk of the wear will be
transferred from the bolt to the pump bracket.  I any case the
accumulated wear over time will cause misalignment of the belt and alot
of vibration.  The best plan is to replace the bolt and refurbish the
bracket by counter boring the pivot holes and inserting bushings to
eliminate the worn surfaces.

I believe that Gary The Parts Doctor provides this service.  I can't find
the invoice currently so am not certain he does it.  I am sure someone
will respond to clarify.  I had mine refurbish in this manor and it runs
true and silent.
