Power steering conversion - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey all,
I have a '94 Geo Prizm (1.6 manual transmission) which I've been upgrading when I have time. Two things it doesn't have are power steering and air conditioning.

I checked this forum out but couldn't find a thread on a power steering swap. I was curious to see if any members here have completed this, and if so, any tips or gotchas worth mentioning?

Thanks

eh, its probably not worth adding power steering. It only makes a difference at low speed and adds constant drag to the engine.

Bitter,

I appreciate your opinion. Yeah, it's an extra moving part I suppose, but I'm still interested in doing this. I'll just go and eyeball the yards, check the pump, hoses, and fittings.
