All my hoses for my power steering pump need replacing an those hoses are kinda pricey, so to solve the problem I can just remove my power steering all together. So I wanna know how bad is dailey driving with no power steering in a 240?

Daily driving without the PS isn't that bad at all. I am a delivery driver so I drive alot and I don't have it hooked up. It is definently stiffer but it didn't take long to get used to. Now it feels wierd to drive a car that still has PS.

As what Matt said, driving around isn't that bad. You feel more feedback when turning. But as a warning, parking is a biatch.

i just disconnected mine do to a fried bearing on the tensioner making a supercharger type of whine but it isn't to bad i would not recomend drifting or trying to take sharp corners fast unless your a pretty hefty guy that has the power to throw behind it i have tried a couple times and it is to notchy and jumpy and stiff

i have to agree that its not that hard without PS, its just that you have to turn the steering wheel with more effort.

cars that have broken power steering are alot harder to drive than just cars that never came with power steering, but even still the only time it sucks is when you're moving slow or stopped and trying to turn the wheel- like parking or k turns or whatever... eh whatever though, get them arms jacked like a mofo and then nobodys gonna say sh*t about your busted up car.
