I was wondering if anybody had done this before and what it is like to drive without it. My dad's old porsche dosn't have it, and I like the way that feels a lot more than the fbody steering does. But the time my serpentine belt broke, it was all I could do just to get the thing into the nearest parking lot. I figured it might just be because I was fighting the pressure of the pump. Anybody drive without it? I'm not too serious about this, just an idea that poped into my head out of nowhere.

a car setup for power steering don't work too good without it. A car without power steering is totally different

The proper way to do it is change to a manual steering rack such as the one offered by madman. That Porsche is much lighter on the nose and the front tires are narrower making it easier to steer manually.

i would stick with what you have. A lot of work for the small amount of benefit

I used to have a Buick Skylark that i replaced the v6 with a 396 bbc and there was no room for power steering...damn that thing was hard to turn...very hard.

Yeah, w/o power steering on a 4th gen., it is TOUGH to steer w/o having some speed. If you try to park w/o power steering, its HARD. Just keep the power steering.

Only power steering you need is all the power you can muster up . If you get a manual steering box, its not too bad.

Yeah,trying to park it when my belt broke was REAL hard. I'm not looking for the money/time involved in changing the boxes, just not worth it. Then I guess its a no for now.

I remember when doing my lt1 swap, I had to rig a custom power steering setup. I didn't want to and took it for a test drive with my hydraulic box and no P/S. I went 2 blcoks and everytime I tried to turn I was turning so hard the leather on my steering wheel was getting pulled, said screw this and just had some hoses made. Manually steering on a P/S setup is hard as hell.
