I'm toying around with the idea of converting my 1998 Jeep Cherokee to manual steering.
I know which steering box I need and have an idea how to get rid of the pump. Since I need a new steering box anyway, this could potentially be a pretty cheap fuel efficiency mod.
How much of a MPG bump could I expect from doing this, though? For 1/4 mpg I'd rather have power steering. For 1 mpg, I might do without.
