Exclamation how do i have P/S? It shouldnt!!

I have an 87 base model and i recently found out that it SHOULDNT have P/S. But never the less, i do. I am sure that cds00bsmg, who i bought that car from didnt install it. i wonder if the person even swapped out the racks....anyone else ever see this? it might be aftermarket cause it says koyi on it.

They all say koyi. Power stearing isn't a bad thing.

i like power steering but ths one feels different that other P/S cars. It is almost too loose feeling or something.

Sure you have a base model... some people confuse the 87 Luxury with a 87 Base since they both have 4 lug wheels, small brakes, etc.

I'm assuming thecar came factory equipped with it, I did not install it. I often wondered why the car lacked power options but had P/S, power sunroof, etc. I expected it not to as well. I don't really have an answer for you, but hey, P/S is a nice option. Maybe sevenspeed installed it?

It's easy enough to get rid of anyway, just rip out all that junk and slap in a non power rack, then take it for an alignment.

Even if it is not a standard option you can always add options when buying a car new...

Maybe the original owner/purchaser of the car didn't care about anything else but wanted the PS? There's your answer if that's the case.

Yeah, from my experience about half of 86-87 base/4 lug cars or 87 turbo cars will have PS, and about half will have manual racks. Everything 88 and up had PS from the factory.

You have a Luxury, not a base if you have a sunroof.

The base model did not have a sunroof option in 87 In fact it was the only model in 87 which you couldn't get a sunroof in 87.:
