Removing Power Steering

Steering rack died and I didn’t want do deal with it, so I instead tried no power steering. It’s not all that bad, certainly not for the faint of heart. What’s important is that the rack be as empty of fluid as possible. That stuff is hard to push around.

While I was dead-weight diving I removed my non-functioning cruise control, turns out the problem was the diaphragm. But I live in Massachusetts and therefore never have a chance to use it anyway.

Now I have to figure out what to do with the air conditioning….
