Tony Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 If you mean undo the arms at the rack, i think you will find the manual racks arms don't detach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Yeah thay do tony thay all do on them and cavvies. a 17mm bolt for each 1 iirc got to find a suitable bottom pully yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 do you not find non-assisted steering to be really slow though ? I can remember reading Ferrari etc resisted PAS untill they concluded it was needed to allow fast enough steering response to driver input.

jammy Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I find you get more feal od the road and the car.feals more sturdy with a little slowerness in the steering and find i dont get much oversteer and the tail stays in check with out a doubt tony i would stuill have it checked but dont wanna do it if it will go miles out and have to suffer it for a week or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 With the amount of camber you have on the front she will under-steer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 205's are light small cars, surely they'd be easy to steer with no PAS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
