So, after driving yesterday and today in the BMW 330 at Carolina Motorsports Park, without power steering, I’m thinking of making it a semi permanent change. The steering is heavier but it feels steady and less twitchy.

I have a small Momo steering wheel that I’ve had on every car for the last 30 years. That probably doesn’t help with the twitching or sawing the steering wheel back-and-forth sometimes. On the flipside, it doesn’t help, without power steering.

For the track, I would take off the power steering pulley and install the shorter belt. For the street, I would leave the pulley on and longer belt.

Is there any downside or possible damage to the power steering system, when I’m at the track without power steering? Would trying to steer with fluid in the system cause damage in some way?
