97 power steering
So the bonne started squeaking the other day, finally got the chance to look at it in the daylight today, and noticed that when the car is running, the power steering pump pulley wobbles a bit. which is more than likely the bearing and not the pulley, so I'm looking to replace the whole pump in general just to have it new and have no worries with it. Anyone know what the part number is for the pump? or any quick fixes for it? I'm gonna try to tighten it if i can to see if that helps any. Good news is no wear on the belt or anything yet

IIRC, they tend to wobble some. Mine does, anyway.
But look at Rockauto's listing. That will give you a number of choices and part numbers.

Re: 97 power steering
There are two different pumps. If yours has an electrical connector going to it, it might be harder to find. Took a few days when I ordered mine.
If it is variable assist, some here have simply replaced it with the standard pump and reported no problems and no real difference.
