    Silly question - how complex is it to add power steering to a car? My mate told me its more trouble than its really worth, just wondering if anyone else has done or attempting to do it

    its pretty straight forward, but fitting rack itself is a pain. subframe needs dropping!

    It is more trouble than it's worth. I'd only do it if the engine is out of the bay.
