darryl you da man !! Give that man a beer!
I don't know how many times I've had this topic in discussion but there is always one out there that wants to do this.
If you have grown up driving front wheel drive cars, you are probably used to power steering and believe it is the norm. You think nothing of it. All cars should have power steering.
That's a total load of crock shit. Well, unless you have a 5 litre cast iron boat anchor living under the bonnet and ten inch wide wheels you may need it.JK needs it in his 75 cause he's an old fart who gets a lending hand to brush his teeth due to the weight of the brush. He was toying with the idea of going mucho and ripping it out but realised there would be a better resale if it was left original.
A rear wheel drive car like the GTV6 does not need power steering. Never did, never will in its usual guise. Nobody seems to pay any attention to the feedback issue of a manual rack. Nor the speed with which it responds and the lack of speed response from a power rack. NO OIL PUMP POWERED STEERING RACK WILL/CAN EVER EQUAL THAT.
If you have a pair of chicken wing arms and you must have power assist, go the electric tack on but don't do the oil job. You are ruining the best steering set up you can get for road cars.
darryl. I am glad to see you get it mate.
