OP: The only real issues with the manual rack will be when you are turning at low speeds, like in a parking lot. Out on the road you would hardly be able to tell the difference. I would still lean towards fixing the power steering system unless the car was going to be dragstrip oriented.

how is that different from driving a p/s car with the belt off? sure the manual rack is designed for it and i bet the gearing is different but if your belt falls off, turning at low speeds/stops is very difficult while driving at normal speeds is relatively the same.

in either case, its stupid on a dd IMO
