How tough is it...

[Robert_68]

I want to take off the power steering on my stang and I searched the forum and nothing. I was wondering how hard is it to steer without power steering?
I drove my friends Dautson and it took some getting used to. Also what else would i need to get, ex. a mannual rack...ect? Is it really worth it? I recently took out the whole a/c system and it cleaned up quite nicely. So the next thing i was wondering if i really needed was the p/s. Thanks alot

if your car is mostly street driven you shoudn't bother, it's not really worth it, did you ever try paralel parking with manual steering?

agreed.

but to do it, one can get an aftermarket kit (FR, etc) or get a manual rack from an old fox and the adapters.

FWIW, there is a weekly thread on this topic. i might play with the search terms if interested in reading old threads.

good luck.

It depends on how strong you are. If your strong armed, it will be no problem, if you not, then you need some toughening up anyways so suck it up.

Non-Power is such a pain in the ass, hehe.

friend of mine has a honda del sol with no p/s and what a PITA it is to drive, especiall pulling in and out of parkin spaces, and those tires are small like 195s or smaller lol so im sure teh stang might be a lil tougher with 225 or what ever your running
