i can't decide whether or not i want my power steering running right now. the belt and pump need to be replaced but i am becoming shorter and shorter on funds each day. i have the alternator/belt ready to replace but i wanted some feedback in regards to how the ST feels without power steering.
thanks all -x --------------------  Pandelica 2.0 in progress. |

I'm sure it doesn't matter if you have an st or gt or a swapped celica. Its going to be a biotch to drive period. To be honest I kind of like the way my car drove with out ps at the beginning of having the 3s swap. I felt more connected to the road. I also gained some huge forearms and could arm wrestle anyone.

Going forward is easy, backing up is a different story. Although the feel of the drive without it is greater the turning is not.
