i recently bought a pulley kit. completely forgetting about the power steering. i want to keep it. but now i cant with the pulleys. but, i do remember seeing steering assists on a few S4's. i have a 91 coupe with a TII swap. is there a way to convert mine to the steering assisit set-up? so i can have some type of power steering. anyone done this?

keep your eyes out for a manual rack, the car actually drives real nice with one.

Then you can get rid of that stuff too.

i looped my hoses on my 91 but i am still wanting a manual rack. It would feel better than a looped power steering but it works for now

it might feel alright, but there is no comparison to a manual rack



I have one for my vert if I ever work on it, and my 87TII has one factory.
