In my daily driver the white 94 civic. The wheel bearing are bad...Thats one thing...
But the power steering seems screwed up....My other 94 Hatch doesn't have it since I did a swap and removed it...Better for racing..More control...
:confused:
What I'm asking is if in my daily driver should I replace the hoses and fix the power steering or just loose it???----even my daily driver is raced out just no-swap.....
I know I will gain horsepower and better control......also loose about 47lbs.......But if you don't have power steering you know how it is....Parking lots and so on...are annoying...
Give me your opinion....

My front wheel bearings are shot...Which can be most of the problem...
But only sometimes when I turn the wheel to the right at a stopped position I get a..Clunk clunk clunk...(which usually means something need servicing in the power steering)
But Only when its turned right...I rechecked the tire pressure and balance...But that good....So it must be in the power steering system....
Also when brakeing it jerks to the right....I replace all rotors/pads/and lines.....Still happens....(they needed replacing anyways)
But I think thats because the front left wheel bearing is really bad....and slows down under pressure....
But On the freeway I like No power steering....It give you more control and a better feeling.....(you just can't let go of the steering wheel....)
I forgot to say it's also a 5 speed...also in a few years I will be swapping the engine and building this car into a race car also.....
