Message	Alternator is going out, only putting out 11.7 V at idle. Replaced by previous owner, but was getting covered by leaking power steering pump. Rebuild or buy new and where from? Power steering pump was rebuilt with new seals and bearing shaft 3 years ago by myself. Seems to have overheated last summer at a tight, hot, autocross and now is whining badly and low assist. Not sure if the vanes are cooked or what? Rebuild again or replace and where from? Thanks! OEM pricing is nuts, but prefer no China. 1996 TT #61 of 300
