Thinking of ditching the PAS - heavy steering?
Discussion
Hi all,
well I got the rack off the car, and its a modified Ford one, and its in OKish condition, but not ideal.
Thinking of dumping the PAS because the pump whines, its an engine bay eyesore, the rack is pretty heavy, and a couple of other minor reasons, like its a bloody sight easier to get a non-pas rack (i.e. something like Cortina IV or even Sierra? Depends on thread compatibility with TREs, length between balljoints etc...).
I run 225/50/15s all round in a s2 390SE.
Am I mad for removing the PAS?

Yep
it can be done, but is a lot of work. i have power steering on my car and ended up putting a different type of power rack on, this meant fabricating track control arms, pipe work, and the hardest bit was getting the rack to connect with the column, very difficult, but got there in the end.
i would recomend having your rack rebuilt, a lot less work.

A mate did it years ago and he has arms like a Gorilla now.
Just get a new pump.

I run my Griff 500 and Sagaris without p/s and it's so much better for it, do you use the car for driving or shopping?
It ain't that heavy without i run 225 R888 on the 500 and 255 F1s on the Sag,
