thanks for the input I was wondering if this was feasible too. What is your opinion on cutting out the hydraulic system and using a barbed fitting to connect the steering systems input and output, bypassing the pump and such?


how much easier to steer would a manual system be for something like a 94 honda civic than the bypassed system be?

Also 50 - 75 bucks doesn't seem that bad to get a little bit of electric assist for steering what do you think about integrating that?

sorry for all the questions I've just had a ton of wild turkey 101 and just brain storming about what I can do

Thanx
