Power steering delete?
Sunday, February 13, 2005 3:54 PM
Well, I bought another Cavalier today (Yah, big surprise) . This is Cavalier #16 for me.

Anyways, its a 1990 5-speed 2.2 2 door, but the weird thing is that the car is power steering delete.. It just has an idler pulley where the pump would be. Anyone else ever seen this? I'm sure its not super rare or anything, but I've just never run across another power-steeringless Cavalier. Thoughts?

I've seen some older models like 88's without them... though I find it odd... but I also find low-carb diets odd, so who knows

Yeah there is a few of them made. Do a search on car-parts.com and it lists a few 90 models with the manual racks.

Yeah there pretty rare, I know a few guys who race cavaliers and had a hard time finding a car without power steering cause you dont want it on an oval track, a few guys just gave up and gutted the pump so it just free wheeled and didnt do anything but keep the belt were it was susposed to be.
I've never seen a J without power steering.

It's definitly more common in the older ('82-85) cars, but not unheard of.

I have the same thing, 1990 Red 2 door, 5 speed. It has no power steering. Can't be THAT rare.

Interesting. Thanks for the replies guys

This car is going to get the MPFI swap with a lightly ported head and both manifolds ported (i/e). Should make for a fun beater car with good mileage!
