Hey guys, my power steering pump is going out and im kina thinking about just getting rid of it all together. Anyone done this?? Too uncomfortable? Does it put as big of a load on the motor as the a/c compressor?

Here you go. The safer more effective way to do it
And no it wont put a big load on the AC if removed.

I don't know how its draw on horsepower compares to the A/C pump (can't be much, it's easy enough to turn by hand
), but I definitely enjoy driving the car more without power steering. When you drive hard, it's easier to feel when the front tires are letting go, I absolutely love it. Now whenever I do drive a car equipped with P/S, I feel so detached from the road. It almost makes me a bit uneasy, it's so numb.
Turning while you're moving at normal traffic speeds is no problem at all. It's in parking lots and the like when it can be a bit tough, but only just. Get the car rolling and you'll be fine. I got used to it in maybe a week or two, it doesn't phase me anymore.Comment
