How much work are we talking? Price wise?

Depends where you get your parts a valver etc stearing rack plus the pipe work then a pump say £80.

Then you need to fit it all might need a bracket to mount the PAS pump to then a new AUX belt to go round the PAS pump along with the normal other parts.

Well I'd pay to get it done by a mechanic, care to take a rough guess at how much they'd charge?

No idea at a guess say 8 hours labour. But then you need the fluid to fill up and you might need new lines if anyn of the second hand ones are worn.

why do you need it? The diet manual racks as light if not lighter than the energys with power steering.

Chances are your balljoints are knackeed and the top mount bearing is siezed

 

[Rip3z]

Should it still be light with 15's on?

 

[Chris_H]

yes if they are the right offset.

 

[Rip3z]

Any way of ball joints and top mount bearing without buying new parts?

Any way of checking*^^
