I've been toying with the idea of adding power steering to my car lately, and previously I planned to save up for a full power rack & pinion system. However, I'm investigating a different route...
... by just replacing the steering box with a Borgeson PS steering box, adding a PS pump/hoses and belt, I can convert my manual steering to power steering. The advantages are: 1) it would keep the "tuned" geometry of my front suspension unmolested by the addition of a rack & pinion setup; or 2) no problems with old leak-pron technology in a rebuilt original system. I need to do some more research, but this sure sounds like an interesting option... plus it would be a lot cheaper than purchasing a full power rack & pinion system.
