Hi, I'm selling my Eunos on PH and Ebay and have been asked whether the car has power steering. I am not sure - do they all have power steering? Thanks...

This is the car by the way:

Go out to the car and make the steering lock is disengaged but the engine isn't running. Turn the steering. Now start the engine and turn the steering again. If it's easier to turn with the engine running, it has PAS.

Thanks, the car is kept in a friend's garage so I can't easily get to it tonight. I was under the impression all Eunos have power steering but thought I'd check on here before replying to query. If it was an option I'll pop over and check tomorrow smile

Yes it does. You can see the reservoir for PAS fluid in pic 5, just to the left of the headlamp.

If you can turn the steering while stationary without gorilla arms then it has PAS wink

Understandable if he's only ever driven it 2 minutes up the road, but any longer and yeah, it's a bit confused

It's pretty noticeable!

I have barely driven the car but the steering did seem very light - similar to Miss Notax's previous Elise which I don't think had power steering (but there again anything is light compared to a Chimaera) Just thought I'd ask on here without having to go and check out the car itself smile

Elise is a light car with the engine at the back. They don't really need PAS.
