anyway to make my non PS easier?
 
well i have really bad shoulders, and a broken collar bone and i always rondomly wake up and both my shoulders hurt like a bitch. not having p/s is hell on them, it hurts them pretty bad, i was wondering if there is any way to make it easier to turn the wheel without puting PS on the car

check air pressure, and skinny non-sticky tires.
Going from my wide track compound tires to stock 13's is a big diff in turning.

make sure your steering box is tight, get new tie rod ends and busings and balljoints

Turning
 
You could try to find a larger steering wheel. That will increase the leverage effect on the steering Box.

But, considering your shoulders and collar Bone, Power steering would Be the best option until it heals.

Broken collar bones SUCK, and power steering should give you finger tip capability from 0 mph up.

let it roll then turn the wheel. ;)

Tire pressure makes alot of difference. Up the pressure in the front a couple pounds

Go power.. I did the swap on my GSL and my 15X7's turn like they are sitting in butter.. It just makes it a bit more difficult to get to the plugs..

i was thinking of getting a FC stearing wheel or something becaue the stock steering wheel kicks my ass with the metal spokes.

chauffer ?

I think that the easiest way is to just make sure the car is moving a little before you try to turn the wheel. Good luck.

Lets see! I've been going to gym since 9th grade and I'm 32 now, so I say lift weights. I can turn the wheel when the car is parked with one hand.
P.S. this is a long term solution, it will not fix your issue now.

you can also have the car aligned and tell the tech to reduce the caster, this will make it a llittle easier to turn but will reduce the cars ability to self-correct the tires after a turn
