Hey Guys simple question.

Just wondering, do any Ae86 sprinters come stock with powersteering?
If not does anybody know how hard it would be to convert it to a powersteering set up....
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

yes,the JDM spec cars did,and it was an option for the locally sold cars,but I've only seen one that had it fitted.
it's a simple conversion IF you can find the parts required to do the swap.
like the disc brake rear ends with LSD,power steer is one of the holy grails...

How can you tell if your car has power steering just by opening the bonnet?
I checked my fuses, and there is one for ecd, i have nfi what that stands for either.

there will be a pump hanging off the engine, for those who dont know better you might say it looks like an aircon compressor.

As far as I know, my aus delivered sprinter was fitted with P/S before it had a 4AGE installed, the P/S and the aircon was removed to make the conversion easier.
This is what the previous owner said, could be BS, but I did get all the P/S related parts along with a shit load of other spares when I bought the car.
So if anybody in SA wants the P/S steering arms, pump etc, im open to offers! 
Personally, I love no P/S on the sprinter, my last 3 cars had power steer and I hated it (except in carparks!)

I've got two fluid containers, but they both specificly ask for brake fluid, so could one be for rear brakes and the other for front, or is it one for both sets of brakes and one for powersteering?
