Re: help with my over assisted power steering......suggestions please

Juan,  Just try disconnecting the p.s. belt and go for a cruise and see 
how you like it. I took my p.s. pump off my Dodge to
get rebuilt years ago and have never put it back, I like it better with 
no p.s. I only miss it when I'm trying to turn around or park.
