Did 83 cars have the power steering hanger bracket
Curious as I broke one of the ps lugs on my 86. On the lower balance shaft bearing cover did the 83's have the ps pump hanger facility?

In 82/83 PS was an option for the US 944.
Cars that originally came with manual steering had a different bracket that did NOT have provisions for the PS pump to hang from.
**man the balance shaft drive looks weird without belt covers**

Ok, so an 82/83 that was not optioned with ps was fitted with a different lower bs cover without the ps hanger. Got it! Thanks Spencer

My 83 doesn't have power steering. But it may have provisions for the power steering pump. This picture is from when I did the timing belt. There are two lugs at the bottom of the picture that looks like it's for a power steering pump?

Confirmed then, thanks.
#ing front "big stupid hole" on mine broke.
I take it there is no problem swapping that cover, it's not matched or line-bored like the bs covers?

Don't believe so as it's only held in place "centered" by an o-ring.
Be advised the early vs late brackets are different despite using the same pump and adjuster...details are fuzzy right now but I think there was a change of having that "weird notch" and maybe the bushing size.
