Suggest you check the old posts on this topic also. There was great info on a filter screen in the steering rack that needed to be cleaned (first gen LS400). Mine was almost totally clogged, and I think contributed to pump failure and poor assist. The screen or cleaning procedure is not documented in the service manuals.

I've seen old posts that say this is a common problem in first gen LS400's. PS pump leaks onto alternator which eventually fails. I think high pressure PS hose is also prone to leaks.
