power steering is over rated. you have more control with out it. unless your a total wimp id leave it with no p/s

That may be. But the EJ i had previous owner pluged the P/S holes on the Rack an Steering went to hell an the Steering wheels had alot of Shaking an vibrations... My friends say they did the same thing but never had a problem with the steering wheel.. maybe just a hit n miss. but good thing i got a New DX EH2 with P/S.

Looks alot cleaner too without it in there!

I have everything you need to setup powersteering. tie rod ends both inner and outter are only a few months old.

where are you located? I could give you a kickass deal if you were to pick it up.

I dont know the shipping cost though, might be expensive. but the pump doesnt leak, the crossmemeber is great, tie rods are great. Id even throw the steering wheel in with it.

parts are form a 1993 del sol and yes, you need to swap the entire crossmember. car has never been in an accident up front, so everything is straigh

PM me if interested.

actually,. if you popped the tie rod ends on her car, un bolted the crossmemebr and took off the rear mount and steering shaft, we could swap it in a matter of hours no problem
