got my s14 recently and the power steering pump is going out. making whining noises and at times malfunctioning all together. so i figure, take it out, reduce some weight, and "feel" the road. lol, trying to make something out of nothing. so i was wondering if there were any write-ups on uninstalling it. plus, i was wondering if it was a pain for daily driving. my friend tells me different, he says it's great. any other parts or procedures to make this work, or is it a "direct bolt-off." thanks for any help...

 

Basically, remove the p/s reservoir, p/s pump, p/s belt, all p/s lines, and plug the two p/s holes in the steering rack.

Is it a pain? At high speeds, no. Anything like parallel parking or U-turns: have fun, bring gatorade.

Remember, the S14 isn't a lightweight, tiny car

 

hopefully everything goes well...thanks
