anybody here gone from power steering to manual on their foxes? how noticeably harder is it? i think my power steering pump took a crap on me.. it's really hard to turn the wheel both left and right, the powersteering sounds like it has a hermonica up there and really hesitates to turn.. lol.. is it worth just repairing than swapping over to a manual?

I think a new power steering pump is around $60, and yes i thnk its worth replacing i've had a few friends that bought their 5.0 without p/s and they hated it.

NO power steering is alright for a weekend car but if I had to drive it everyday it's a little bit of a pain. You can manage it but your arms will get bigger LOL, parallel parking is a pain in the ass, so are 3(9) point turns.

My opinion also, I would stick with power steering unless I rarely drove the car.

Well after driving my car for the first time in 2 weeks I disagree with what I previously wrote, it's easy but you have to get used to it.

is it one of those pain in the ass jobs to do? like to take out all of the power steering equipment? or is it easier than i think?
