Partial by-pass of power steering pump
It seems the power steering is getting more powerful with time. I have had this car since 1995, even with new tires I can now turn the car with my pinky.
I need increased steering effort but not full manual. Instead of removing the whole PS system I am thinking of installing a by-pass around the PS pump with a smaller diameter high pressure hose? Any one done this? Did it help?

Re: Partial by-pass of power steering pump (vimsen)
loosen the PS belt and make it slip. that will make it harder to turn the wheels. It may squeek a bit on startup but its all good.
