Powersteering Delete

[wrestlingandrunning]

Anybody completely remove there power steering system and fit a manual rack in? I've also heard of people just looping the line back to the steering rack and leaving the fluid in. Was wondering if anyone has had experience with this.

i had to run with out PS for a week because of pump falure it was a heavy heavy pig to steer i hated it with a passion

^X2 man
Cameron you definitely dont want to pull your PS. Had the pump go out twice on my old LD9, even that 4 cyl was impossible to turn...

Yup I agree with Jawa and Ttop.. I had my PS pump leaking badly before it was replaced and it would run out of fluid quickly and the damn thing was a total bitch to steer without fluid. You really don't want to delete it.

Why do you want to delete your power steering though?

Less drag on the motor. Im prob going to delete mine as well. Along with A/C. Milzy makes a delete kit for the ac

mine went out once and i had to drive it home... never again. lol

eric, yes he does but i would take the pulley off and get a shorter serpentine belt so i dont have to run it.

Less drag on the motor.

What do you lose? A whole 5 hp? Leave it.

I wad saying thats probably his reason not mine. Im doing mine when I do my full tuck

[zzyzzx]

Where are you planning on getting a manual or electric rack that you can substitute?

This one is probably better quality :rolleyes2:

the one redog posted is also 30$ cheaper then milzys. but in order to make a difference dont you need to not run the pulley for you to actually get that small gain, and use a smaller serp?

Pump is going out don't have money to replace it and would rather save money to get my z going. I've driven cars with it removed and right now it gives more resistance than most manual rack cars I've driven.

[kwhauck]

Seriously? Pumps for the alero are dirt cheap, like $40.......just replace it, or snag one from a junk yard for $10

Yeah I mean how much are you going to spend to get less features and horsepower the equivalent of a SS sticker across the hood

[jawa]

Go ahead and remove it. I guarantee you will have it back in in 2 days

[Hellfire5670]

monte carlo + no PS = Hell.

[sleepyalero]

old cars with no power steering is not that bad. new cars with out power steering..... hell.

[xXManwhoreXx]

I dont have ps half of the time in my car. Its not the worst car to turn

So your reason is because your doing a full tuck? Sounds stupider.....just sayin ;) That power steering is really taking up a lot of space huh?
