Default Question about running no power steering.

Say if you remove the pump, then connect the hose with metal fitting (that goes to the pump)to the hose that comes out from reservour - would that accomplish same results as to do a loop on steering rack plus reservour on top?

You may have more resistence due to the excess fluid. I don't know. Something to think about I guess.

You can just rip everything off, it's not really necessary to loop anything. Many people including myself have done it that way without any problems. I do remember reading a few threads on here thought about buying a couple parts and using a little overflow tank, search and you shoudl be able to find it.

well, i think the only way to find out is for 1 person try both ways on the same car. i wish i could give you more information but i think that's really is the only way to find out. i have a PS Removal Kit that i still haven't installed... when i took out all of my A/C stuff i was looking at the rack and it seems like it would be way too much of a pain in the *** to me to do without a lift.
