I have turned off power steering in my car as a test once.
Since it's electro-hydraulic I just had to pull the fuse of the power steering pump, wich was easy.
Steering was a little heavy when standing still, but not any different when driving any reasonable speed.
Did the same in my previous car, wich was FWD and had electronic power steering, wasn't an issue with that one either for parking.
However the amount of torque-steer was too excessive to keep it depowered.
So I went back to the numb feeling of electronic power steering.
At our airfield I sometimes have to drive a few heavier vehicles (5-7 ton roughly) without power steering and with pneumatic brakes.
That's not hard either, however the steering wheel is massive and the steering is geared different.
