The weather here is way too cold to get out and work on the Bavaria so instead of making donations to the skin gods and dusting off my profanity skills I sit around and think about all that needs to be worked on and things that may need to be worked on. One of those real things is the steering. The po has obviously made some mods to the car including a new aluminum radiator, electric fan, and what i believe to be power steering delete.
This appears to be a bare bones cars i.e. slick top, no air conditioning and of course no indication of power steering. A cursory look at the steering box doesn't reveal any plugged power steering in/out holes for hydraulic hoses. I know those big, bus size steering wheels were put on for a reason and one is to reduce the effort to steer these cars around sharp turns, parking lots etc. Personally I really dislike the size of the steering wheel as it looks like and afterthought for an otherwise beautiful car. To me it looks like it belongs in a big truck or yes, in a bus. All that aside, were any of these cars built without power steering or is this another po delete that i'll need to address to make this car easier to live with?
