my ex totalled my slo and i'm in the process of resurrecting her. in the crash the power steering reservoir got smashed and i really have no desire to replace it cuz it handles better without it. my only concern is the rack and pinion steering, will it get screwed up if i don't fix this? i also have a bent steering pulley which isn't a problem as long as i don't have power steering. help?

 

Do it the half-assed way - just loop the lines coming from the rack - that'll be enough.

Padawan I think it is sells conversion kits (from PS to non-PS) to "do it the right way."

The REAL right way would be to put a manual steering rack in there.

 

sometimes people add a breather when they loop the lines

 

i have been interested in doing this for some time but i am not sure which way to do it, what advantages to each have, and the whole manual steering rack thing confuses me abit how does it work and how would i put one in, is there a kit?
thanks. sorry if i am thread jacking but i thought that since it is along the same lines i would ask.

 

so i don't need to buy any parts? if i can bypass it the ghetto way i'm down... i just don't want to replace the whole set up. can u give me a step by step cuz i've never messed with power steering before and i really don't know how to do it
