Picked it up today got it home. There is a place on the crank pully for another belt. It steers a little harder when you turn to the left. Sounds like a growl in front end. I guess I got some work to do. Going to try to get in on a lift tomorrow.

I have a 96 4 dr DX 5 sp and it has pwr steering. For such a small car maybe it's better without it. I would drive it first to see if you really need pwr steering.

I drove it today and it seemed a lot better to drive. I guess it is like anything else. Every car is different in it's own way. But I can't belive the road noise. Or is it the car.
