    Hi there,

    got an 87 prelude with NO Power steering. Its
    really annoying. So, my questions:

    1. Am I missing something in the maintenance
    which is making it harder than it should be to
    turn the steering wheel? I have the tires
    inflated to the correct pressure.

    2. Is there such a thing as installing power
    steering? Or an electric power assist for when
    trying to manouver in parking lots?

    Thanks

    dunno what difference replacing the tie rod ends might make. or maybe
    lubing everything up really well.
    not really worth it in your case. requires a new rack, pump, etc. my 98
    civic has no power steering, but i look at that as one less thing to
    leak or break.

    Hi there,
    What about an electric power assist unit? These
    exist, don't they?

    Maybe you need to start weight training... LOL... just kidding.
    Is it possible that there is some binding in the steering system. When
    you jack the front wheels off the ground... how hard is it then?
