Hmm, well, that was my first impression when I heard of the car before i bought it, "light car, naahh doesnt need ps."

Well, The thing is half of the PS system is missing, so there is no fluid transfer back and forth through the lines. There is no fluid in the lines at all. What that does is make the wheel fight against all the (shot, im sure) seals and stoppers in the rack. To be honest, by 94 pickup without PS is much easier to steer, and thats with larger than stock tires. I like steering response and the ability to steer quickly when nessesary. Right now i cant do that.

If anyone has a PS system thats is functional, perhaps off of a manual swaped system, i would love to know. I need the resevior, all lines, and possibly the rack.

Now whats this about the Starlet rack? Will I need the complete steering collomn and custom bushings like for the AW11 swap? I would love to know more.

Thanks for the info guys.

Joe
