[alfa] Re: Non Power Milano Steering

["John Katos" <john_katos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave, All,

I ran a Milano Platinum for over three years without power to the
power steering. It all started with over cooking turn four at
Blackhawk Raceway at the CAROC time trials. I blew the left seal
causing a lot of smoke. I cut the power steering belt and continued
the days festivities. Over three years later I junked the rusted out
hulk. My arms are not noticeably bigger and the only suffering I have
incurred is a slight strain when parallel parking and the occasional
jibe from my son and Mike Besic whenever they noticed and remembered
how long I had been driving without power to the power steering. I did
NOT find the steering significantly harder on the Milano than my son's
GTV6. In fact with his seat lowered and the angle of steering wheel I
found the Milano steering easier.

Hello All:

I guess I will weigh in on this one.

....I would like the steering to be as light as possible.  At first, I
thought about using a Milano rack with-out the power as the ratio is about
right.  Many said this would be way too heavy.....

Stay tuned, I will have my rack in a few days and pull it apart to see what
I
have.
