how hard is the car to steer with the stock rack with all the PS stuff removed?

nemss1

i have no p/s and still use the factory rack. not hard at all. it feels different at first, but u get use to it. put it this way, my fiance drives my car just fine

Definately much harder than having PS, lol. I now have a manual rack and it's much easier to steer than the stock one without PS as well. If you want just buy the shortbelt and by-pass it to try it out.

If anyone has that part number for the belt mentioned in post 10, i'm interested. Not interested in going to advance or autozone and measuring belts though.

edit.... search got me alot of different numbers, can someone verify? These are just copy and pasted from some of the other threads.

510K6 with the ASP pulley.

and the only accessory missing is the power steering pump on your motor? you still retain the idler, alt, stock crank pully (not underdrive), water pump and tens.?

just trying to make sure before I go buy.

I had another car that was a bit heavier with no power steering and it drove fine. It's something you just gotta get used to. After about 1-2 weeks your arms stop being sore after driving around town and it's no problem.

how much power does it take to spin the p/s pump anyway?

With the short belt, you keep everything but the PS pump.

Got mine from madman, but BMR also sells them.

I did, but I've had sever cars without PS. In general, I'd rather have the PS for a DD car myself.

If you want more belt wrap on the crank pulley and the water pump pulley here is what I did. It was free and it is working great.
