Disable Power steering
I'm considering removing the belt that runs the power steering.
It also runs the a/c which hasn't worked for many years.
A/C compressor is clutch-driven; I'd suppose there are slight losses in spinning the clutch even when not engaged. However bigger losses in running the p/s pump constantly.
Any thoughts or comments?
Steering is lighter now with 46 psi in front and 44 rear. So it might be reasonable to drive with p/s disabled.
