Guys with no power steering

hey any of you guys had the power steering section of your udp milled off? if so does the belt line up ok with alternator pulley? does the belt hit any screws or bolts? thanks for any help

A car the size of a Max w/o power steering is unparkable except in Malwart's car park at 4 a.m. Why would you want to remove it, after all the work the nice Nissan people did in making a variable-rate system?

You can't mill the P/S section off because then your alt-a/c pulley would be out of line because its on the outside. If it was the other way around then it would work.

However, the udp only weighs slightly over a lb so it would be an exercise in futility.

Here is a pic of mine with no P/S or A/C and 33" 4 rib alt belt.

I never hooked mine back up after installing my UDP. I do like being able to feel the steering inputs better, but yes... parking suuuux, especially in parking decks. I'll be reconnecting it when I tear my suspension apart soon. But it was kinda different for a few months.

Do I recommend it? --no.
