well I took my power steering belt off yesterday. and it's still off! it's not that much harder to drive around normal. just takes a bit more effect. but it's so much better under hard cornering. I'll probably be pulling the pump out soon. it's take up so much dam space.

give it a try

 

Man, i took my belt off once and hated it. Had to really yank on the wheel a bunch to make it turn. Really sucked when the car wasnt moving very fast. I have no a/c, no windshield wipers, no smog devices, no radio, but i have my power steering installed!

 

and it still sucked when it was !

I haven't drove a manual rack RX-7, but I assume it would be easier to turn than one with P/S and no belt, due to the mechansim...

 

maybe you need to hit the gym

I don't find it that much harder. you just have to make sure you are rolling a bit before you start turning. but you shound be driving like this anyways or it puts way more stress on stuff.

 

come on guy can't be as bad as my 71 camaro running without power steering and the pump and all still installed :-)
now that was a bitch
