So why did they drop the power steering? I love my 92 GL, but lord the steering can be heavy at times.

The more you drive it, the more you get used to it. My two manual steering Festivas steer like a dream compared to my '89 Escort with manual steering, so it could be worse.Axlander9289, brother of ThisVelologist

If you can find a PS set up from a 90 or 91 you could put it in your car.Comment

I couldnt imagine what power steering would be like in our cars. I didnt even know it was offered.
I run 50 psi in my tires for what its worth. Theyre junkyard tires so Im not worried about uneven wear.91GL BP/F3A with boost
