#38525, "Side-effects of removing power steering?"




          

I know some of you removed your PS belt... well, how does your car handle now? I'm sure interstate driving wouldn't be too bad, but how about when you're trying to park? Do you recommend this mod?

It's a PITA for the first two weeks, but after you displace most of the fluid in the rack and beef your arms back up, you almost don't notice.

the only time I noticed was when I was either trying to get into or out of my drive way because I had to turn the car around in a space about 3-4 feet longer then the car. I was kinda scared to realy go all out around sharpe turns but my alignment was messed up to so that kinda factored in. I am also a skinny ass guy so I have no strength and other then the driveway thing it did not bother me at all, I am even thinking of removing it after this summer.

It REALLY beefs your arms up in a few weeks, at least if youre outta shape like me. Its not really too bad, and adds HP, assuming youre talking about taking that whole belt off. The only real hard times is when you have to turn the wheel at a dead stand or a near dead stand, but it does help your arms if you know whatI mean....

I got banned for being a constant tard.
