Power steering question
 

I would like to remove the power steering pump, and loop the lines, because I have constantly endured understeer while rallying my FC.

I figure if I remove the vacuum based power steering pump, that it will turn when I decide to, not when the vacuum is right.

I know that there are people on here that have done this (No, I didnt search, limited computer access, and I dont have internet at my house any more)

If someone could give me a basic down of how to do this, I would be very appreciative. Which lines where etc.

Thanks in advance

Bumpity Bump, anyone?

look up a Thread by BLACK91N/A in the Sec Gen Specific Forum.he wrote a HOW-TO on how to depower a Rack.,very good info too,if I say so myself.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Vaccuum does not assist the power steering. If you are getting understeer, you might be over driving the car. What I mean is that a given tire has a given amount of traction (100%). If you apply more force to the tires than the tires can apply to the road, you will break traction i.e., spin the tires on a burn out. Same thing happens when you turn. When you are moving forward, that is the direction the force is applied. When you turn left, you are now applying force in a forward direction, and a left direction. Your tires still only have 100% traction to offer you. If you apply 68% forward and 45% left, then you will break traction and newtons 1st law (object in motion tends to stay in motion...) invariably pushes you in the direction you were going instead of the direction you want to go. Exceeding the amount of available traction is also one reason why you want to avoid (to the extent possible) braking hard while simultaneously initiating a turn. Braking can use up a lot of your available traction.

Basically, what I'm saying is slow down first, then turn.
