Is it possible to install power steering on mid-80's 911's? I warned you it was dumb?

If it is even possible, I doubt it would be worth the cost. If you want power steering, start with a 964 (the 1990-94 911).

Lynx:

Although ANYTHING is possible, the positive steering offset of the 67-89 911's do not need power steering, IMHO.

If you are after a lighter steering effort, you can reduce the caster settings and raise the front tire pressures a little bit.

The negative steering offsets of the 964 and later chassis need power steering to reduce the efforts from the much wider tires found on these cars.
