you want to disable your power steering or take it out of the car?

Either way I wouldnt reccommend it unless your He-Man. Makes the car feel like shit IMHO.

But if you want to disable it just take off the power steering belt.

you should just take off your belt for now, and drive around for about a week to see if it's made enough  difference to keep it off or not. the roads i drive on, you can't tell if power steering is on or not because it's mostly straight or long turns which power steering wouldn't do anything anyways. the car feels more predictable for some reason. if you live more in the city or something, power steering is your friend, and you may want to keep it.

It kinda depends on how big and wide your wheels are. I drove a slammed civic with no power steering and 17 inch rims and that thing drove like shit but with the stock 15's it might not be as bad. IMO
