Not having power steering sucks entirely in parking lots and slow turns. Its worth fixing if you care about your car IMO. It also takes a lot of getting use to, or at least it took some adjusting for me on the few cars I've driven without power steering. It sucks when your trying to make a quick turn and the car doesn't respond nearly the way you expect it to.

yeah I know it would be kinda hard steering without a doubt.And also finding a belt that would work without ps.But the first 4 or 5 cars I had back in the mid 70's did'nt have ps either but they were built without it.One of the main things I was thinking get rid of ps drop the weight and also make room to work on the engine better.
