Power steering delete

**Jper** · 12-23-2008, 08:27 PM

Ok, so my power steering pump definately went, and its annoying as hell because it whines and makes a shit ton of noise. I honestly could care less if I have it or not, because I dont have it now, and I dont struggle too much, and dont feel like spending the money on a new one, so Im just thinking about taking it out. Any suggestions on this? Anyone have experiance?

After reading a bit more on other forums Im finding things about a manual steering components and some other stuff..Not sure exactly what this is, but I seen some of it cost some decent money.

Ur best bet is buying a new pump and putting it in yourself.

just buy a new pump...ford power steering pumps suck on every single ford vehicle ever made. just get a new one. your car will be a pain in the ass to drive with stock size wheels/tires and the power rack without the pump

if you delete your power steering your going to need a new rack. go to pepboys and buy a new pump. its not hard to change. youll really be doing yourself a favor by doing that. specialy with a DD

not to hijack but on topic... if this is a hydro system, could somebody tell me which way the pump should spin? like a pic of the belt routing sticker or ?? :)
