Anything with moving parts will wear out.
A power steering pumps as much as the power steering pump can pump.
Many dealerships use Dot 3 Brake fluid. HOWEVER, that is not recommended because Dot 3, being made for brakes, isn't the best for power steering pumps. Dot 3 can make power steering pumps go bad really fast. I DO NOT RECOMMEND Dot 3 BRAKE FLUID! USE DEXTRON II. Dextron II is designed for power steering.
Power steering pumps are more complicated than rack and pinion steering. They are driven by belts and pulleys, using power generated by the engine crankshaft.

The main cause of a power steering pump failure is a way to gasket. Electronic fuel pumps can fail due to wiring problems.
Check the 1996 Blazers power steering pump. When the pumps go bad they will start to whine or buzz.

The 1985 Volkswagen Golf with both the 1.6L L4 diesel and 1.8 L4 gasoline were offered with power steering. Both models list power steering pumps replacement parts as being available.
found out 1997 to2001 will interchange but not all pumps will work check bolt patterns
Yes, had the problem myself. The power steering pumps leak on the very often. Stop leak is a quick but not a permanent fix.
RX 8s do not have power steering pumps they use an electric power steering system. If you are having trouble good luck the dealer I went to just wanted to change it out instead of a easy electrical fix.
check the power steering fluid level and the power steering belt
