So went to the Junkyard today and found 3 om617.952, 1 om617 na, 1 240d non-turbo, 1 om603 and 1 om606 na. I swear Florida is the meca for these things. Anyways among other things I pulled 2 82bar power steering pumps, 1 ZF and 1 Vickers. My question is which one of these are better? Parts more avaliable for one than the other?

Not sure who Lance is but just really asking what the point is? Is there something that can be better with the pumps? Only MB pump I have ever had fail is a tandem ABC pump.

I think there was a similar post on PeachParts a while back which compared them or at least discussed the differences. I will try to find it and post the link.
I got rid of power steering altogether and opted for manual steering. I don't know if the pulleys for the power steering pump varied, id, different sizes. If you could inspect the sizes, I suspect smaller, even a little, may be better since it will spin the pump more per minute.

RED W123 - left Germany as 240D in 1982. Full AMG body kit less rear apron, 2:65LSD, five speed Getrag 717.400, manual steering, read leather interior, manual brake conversion, electric water pump (EWP), and a bunch of other goodies ...
Yes, it's unfortunate to receive a "troll-like" response to a question.

Thank you for the info. I have the om617.952 in my Jeep, with 32" tires aired down the 65bar pump struggles offroad. I'm hoping the 82bar pump is a little better, now the question is ZF or Vickers. I've ordered the seal kit for both so I may try both in the end.
