Would it be possible to remove the power steering pump and fit bondys manual steering kit BUT use the existing power rack and column?
The reason i ask is that i was towed by the RAC and the ignition was on but no engine power and hence no power steering, and so i was effectively running with no power steering. The car drove for a fair few miles like this and the RAC guy told me that 'it will be heavy steering as your effectively running with manual steering'.
Just got me thinking that rather than change the rack and column, you could simply fit the kit (smaller aux belt) and just use the existing rack to steer the car. The benefit would be that if it was shit and you hated it, you could get a new power steering pump and refit the power steering more easily and just use it as an excuse to get rid of that annoying squeal from the pump.
Any comments welcome.
The coat is definately off the hook, and taxi is on its way on this one.............................embarrassed face on standy
