It's hard for like the first day you drive it, you think somethings gotta be wrong, but you get used to it, my left arm is bigger now, I've been compensating with the right for other activites to even it all out. jk

ya it's hard when you first drive it, especially when you're use to power steering. but after a while, you get use to it. going back to power steering feels weird now for me.

No sensors involved. Do a research in Performance.

Not hard, I converted from PS to non-PS. If you have no LSD, life would be a ted easier.

It's not hard to drive without it. Just parallel parking is a bit of a chore.

If your turning a corner and floor it and get into the power, the wheels really want to straighten out. Other than that it's not hard. Just have to get used to it.

No PS + Girly arms = Hard to steer.

If you remove the power steering, you also gotta convert you gas pedal to the clutch and clutch to the gas.......its not worth it IMO

don't mess with the poor lil guy hahaha


no ps is just weird at first when you're used to ps...
just parallel parking will be a lil annoying if you drive d/t a lot
or when you park at malls, you might take more than simply one steer to do everything right... just take your time and give a finger if steve honks you for you slow-arsse parking!
