    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

  2. Wide tires noticably increase steering effort, as would underinflation
    (which you have ruled out). Otherwise, a savvy aligner can do wonders for
    you. Understand that there is a trade-off between steering ease and highway
    stability, but within those limitations the steering can be lightened
    significantly. Ask friends for recommendations, and if they don't have any
    ask places on the phone if they can decrease your steering effort. You will
    know by what they say if they are up to it.
