Default PS cooler..? worth it?

My car didnt come with one stock and my car just FEELS like it cant handle for crap since the wheel is a bit hard to turn and its not very responsive. Will a ps cooler help this?

No just as a radiator doesn't help handling either.

But, if the car is disabled because the engine has overheated or the PS has taken a dump, then I guess it COULD be considered an aid to handling.

For a car to "handle" it must be able to move under it's own power and the driver must be able to turn the steering wheel.

OK i think you took this the wrong way, I have a feeling that if the wheel turns easier (my ps is no where near as easy to spin as any other car ive driven and i drive 10 diff cars a day) that i will get a better feel for its handling and be able to push the car further. I know it wont make the car handle better, but will it make ME more willing to push the car further.

make sense?

If you are uncomfortable behind the wheel, then yes, a mechanical part can help the driver push the car closer to the limit.

But in this case, I don't believe keeping the PS fluid cooler is gonna make any diference in that mechanical part. It will work, then it will fail. Keeping teh fluid cooler will prolong the part's life.

Are you leaking/puking fluid?
RPM range while turning?
What size tires are you running?
Mileage on the car?
