I'm actually about to do a full DIY on full power steering delete. Including converting your rack to manual. but for now, there is this.

You could always just remove the belt for the power steering and drive around and see how you like it first. It's really not that bad unless you are going really slow like someone already mentioned. You just have to remember when you back out of a parking spot or something that you need to be moving before you turn the wheel and that will makes things alot easier. You can do it sitting still but it's going to be a pita.

No power steering really doesnt bother me i had a K 5 Blazer without power steering sittin on 35's so thats really no issuse. Not trying to delete it for horsepower just mainly to get rid of any "useless" parts. I'm Also Going with an H22 so it's another reason to get rid of it . i just had to replace both power steering pump and rack and pinion in my wifes car and it was expensive. But i greatly do appreciate all the answers

its all about personal preference, its a life saver when parallel parking, and parking lots. no noticeable hp gains and really if this this is gonna be any kind of daily driver then i would keep it. many options to clean it up such as repainting the pump or something but again, its totally up to you.



The past, to present.
