It needs pwr. steering. Came factory the very next year also, I'm running 245/45/17 tires so it's a real workout at low speeds or u turns. Lastly, being manual, any time I don't have both hands on the wheel it reminds me how badly I want power steering so, I'm hoping someone has input as to weather or not I can swap the whole system off a wrecked frontier (dohc) to my single cam. It all looks the same so I'm gonna pull it all and see how it goes. Worst case I'm out 136 bucks for the parts at the local junk yard.
