Quote from: johnf;656905I think it has a lot to do with tyres.
I use a 1988 B2200 pick up, this hasn\'t got power steering and was probably ok when it came out the factory.
However having fitted Mitsubishi Warrior alloys with wider tyres it\'s an absolute nightmare to park.
I\'ve been looking for a power steering rack before my arms give out.

That\'s about right John, the early fbs had narrower tyres but the later ones with 205\'s on are very heavy to steer at low speed and to park.
 
My daily driver, a XJR, has 255/40/18 P Zeros on it and you can\'t even turn the wheel without the engine running and the power steering working.
 
I once imported a pas set up for a 1st gen from a GSL-SE from the states, thinking that I could adapt it. You can\'t and it went in the skip. Cost me an arm to import it as well, very heavy + duty+ vat. Doh!
