Ok guys, need some help here. This is something I've been wondering about ever since purchasing my mopar. Lots of folks have converted their power steering and power brakes to manual steering and manual brakes. Having both manual steering and brakes on my car, I wonder why anyone would want them. The manual steering is a bear in tight spaces (lots and lots of turns) although part of that may be due to my 185/80/113 tires. Power brakes I sort of udnerstand better since i've driven a few that seem to be either "on" or "off" and dont have much graduated response. So, why do manual steering? I guess if I had a tighter ratio box it wouldn't take 50 turns point to point, but even then... ;-) Thanks! Menko
