my locker is interesting in the parking garage up 5 floors..... it is a bit much for everyday but in most cases it isn't that bad... I have no idea about a spool though.

Do you drive your car everyday without power steering? If you do, what is it like to drive without the power steering.. Do you have the Madman manual steering? Your assistance will be appreciated.

My car has 100k miles and i drive it every single day. no power steering and its the stock rack n pinoin. i have front runners on it so its not that bad. i like it less drag on the motor with the short belt and a few lbs off the front end. its kinda hard at first but then your arms get bigger and you get used to it. and then when you put the spool in its like you start all over again, you gotta get used to it again cause it gets even harder to turn. but i'm sure i'll be one handing it in about a week.
