I am creating the thread to discuss the pros and cons of the power steering to manual steering conversion. There really hasn't been that much discussion to this so I figured it was about time! Anyways, here we go...
1. When converting to manual steering is it best to use the stock power steering rack or convert to a 1.8L manual rack?
2. Is the ratio of the manual rack going to be to small for autocrossing? Or wouldn't you even want to consider manual steering for autocrossing?
3. If you want to use the stock power steering rack for manual steering insted of using a manual rack, what would you want to remove or change to do this?
4. I was thinking about converting to manual steering, but I am not sure if I want to. Before I decide to convert can I just remove the power steering belt and see how I like it before going through the trouble of converting?
5. Will the power steering rack go bad if it doesn't have fluid in it?
6. Can the power steering rack be reused if it was once used for manual steering?
7. But most of all, what do you like and dislike about manual steering?
Feel free to ask anymore questions in this thread regarding manual steering or answer whatever you please. Thanks!
