Default Power steering-less update.

Well, it wasn't bad at all. In fact I kind of liked the feel going around corners. Unfortunately it seems the power steering was hiding a rather seriously worn steering box. I could move the wheel back and forth about 3 inches with little response from the car.

I was originally planning on just replacing the hose but I think it's about time I got that Steeroids kit on.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to getting it on. I bought the kit almost two years ago but thanks to the previous owner welding one of the stock brackets on I haven't been able to install it myself. I'll go buy an angle grinder tomorrow and see if I can grind that bugger off.

Can someone direct me toward information about Steeroids. Is it like rack and pinion or is it a different system. Thanks.
