Without power sterring
 
Anyone try driving without the power steering functioning? I know at parking lot speeds and three point turnarounds will suck. What about on the freeway?

Pull the relay and see for yourself, thats what I did when I was curious. It was entirely to heavy.

Cars of past without power steering are way more driveable, because they usually have steering designed to make easier even if non-assisted. Different steering wheel diameter & steering rack ratio, less caster.
I have driven without EPS mine (due being towed). It's very tiring (further made worse due need to use also unassisted brakes).
