I know a Miata owner who has a power steering pump going out on their
1996 model. I was asked to replace the pump, but was also asked about simply removing it.Is this an option without going to a manual rack, and if so, do I simply plug the hydraulic line fittings to the power steering rack and remove the pump?
If I remember correctly, this is what was done on the 1991 red turbo Miata. It definitely had no P/S, and this Miata owner was happy with the steering effort required on that car.
I glanced around miata.net and did not find anything on it other than doing the entire conversion one way or the other, but I may have missed it.
Thanks!
