[cb7rush]

I am getting an F22a1 with out power steering from a guy i know for 60 bucks. it does not have power steering. Is it better to just replace the power steering or keep it off?
LMK what you guys think.

Depends on if you want big biceps or not.

damn..i guess it sucks for me..i go to cal poly pomona and thats all there is..lol..
I guess it should be good..Do you know how hard it is to install if necessary?

not bad at all. just remember, not having power steering in a CB is not the same as not having it in a Civic. It can get kinda tough pulling out of a parking lot since its a heavier car.

Ps. I have an extra pump, line, and reservoir if you need.

I was just wondering how hard it is to put back in?

Driving is not a problem, now parking is a whole other story. My forearms haven't been this cut up since I was 21. lol!!!!!

when I first did the swap in my car, I was without power steering, now I have it. and for some odd reason, I liked it better without. If that helps. haha.

more direct steering feel/ feedback.

more direct steering feel/ feedback.

Was it like your car was stuck to the ground?
or did it feel like you still had control of the steering wheel?

you won't be able to drive as fast in the twisties. And it will get annoying after awhile if you do a lot of city driving. Idk I just put a new P/S rack w/ new inner tierods and also outer tierods and my steering feels more direct then ever. So for those that say its not as direct, they prob. have 15yr old components w/ tons of slop in them.

FYI, If you ever take off your tierod, just to check if you have slop, the balljoints should be pretty stiff and it should be kinda hard to move them, in other words, they shouldn't just flop about>>>>that means they're prob. worn out.

But then again, I drove w/o PS for 2 months when I first completed my H22 swap and it wasn't that difficult and I'm a pretty skinny dude, 5'11 145.

Driving without ps is fine, and it feels kind of cool. Parallel parking sucks though. And 3 point turns. Wow. Especially when its hot, and you are trying not to work up a sweat. lol.
The driving experience, on the whole, is better with ps.
