Hey
Just wondering how/if its possible to change standard steering to power steering and is it worth it? If so, how much would it cost and what would be needed? Any ideas. Thanks to all.
Thanks
Troy

yes its possible if the car came out with powersteering, or might still be possible if it didnt.
How long is a piece of string?
you havent said what car it is so who knows howmuch it would cost
you'd need power steering pump, bracket lines and powersteering rack
and probably a few other things.

Why, oh why do you need P/S in a small light RWD car like a KE55? If the steering is heavy get it checked out, it should be light as a feather if everything is in good condition.

Well, if you want it to drive nicely, look at fitting a rack in there, and in the process your steering will become lighter as well as far less sloppy. Then stick a quick rack in it to tighten it up again

What does power assistance have to do with handling?? All it does is reduce steering effort, it doesn't change steering/suspension geomtry in any way whatsoever.

WEll can't you just put one and one together, if the wheel is easier to turn, you'll be able to turn it more times cos its easier, thus in my mind that makes better handling. Well for me anyway.
