i just replaced mine as well but im just wondering, what is a banjo bolt? Since we are talking about power steering pumps, i bought a new one and the shaft moves in and out about one MAYBE two mm. Is this normal, or should i send it back to the company? By the way, the car is an 84 na.

okay what the problem was that i broke off the piece, and since the banjo bolt has those holes in there it leaks out since i broke off the electrical connector
can anyone help me with if i can weld it back on or what to do?
