UL, i totally was aware about our electrical power steering, my main reason for removal was weight. The electrical unit itself is quite heavy

Looks like that ps motor is an integral part of the steering rack.

PS: Way to go, Angels!

check for size to bypass the ac unit as well, with or without water pump bypass.
Pro Autosports has a belt available to bypass the ac unit.

Between the wheels i am running and my brakes, i have removed over 15 pounds of unsprung weight off each front wheel. Believe me, it wouldnt be too difficult to turn the wheels

I didnt know though that the rack and the electrical unit were one piece. That sucks.

Hey, my battery went out on me because of a stupid mistake I made . . .
First thing to go was the EPS, I couldnt believe how difficult it was to steer.
