Guest calebz Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Thats funny, I was recently giving thought to the same thing.. My ps has been problematic, so I was thinking about putting a manual steering rack on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Konrad Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 when i wanted to have more h power in winter, i took down the power steering(the wheel) and replace 2 belts ( EA82) with a belt from 84 GL sedan(EA81), it has no ps or a/c, and it worked,..... konrad 1989 DL Wagon 5spd D/R with LSD 1984 GL Sedan RWD 1982 DL Sedan 4WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oobnuker Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Trial and error always work too - you can just measure the span with a piece of clothes line or something. Most belts are marked in inches also. An understanding parts counter guy helps too... I did away with everything except the water pump and the alternator and I think I ended up with a 32" belt. This car used to be power steering and A/C. Also - no real need to swap the rack unless you really want to. I'm running with the power steering rack in place and have had no problems for a year now. Maybe offroading, rock crawling, or something, or maybe with larger than stock tires it would become an issue - but otherwise it is basically effortless to turn the wheel anyway once you're moving.

Guest 5280wagon Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 i did away with my ps. i can't say that i feel a difference powerwise, but at least i don't have to worry about the leaky rack anymore. marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oobnuker Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I didn't really notice a big power difference - but the engine revs a lot faster - which works out to a noticeable driveability change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
