Dude, it really sucks! My Power steering pump went out when the shop change the rack and piñon. So I've been driving it for 2 years with out no PSP.. The annoying part is when you park or parallel your car into tight spaces, the steering wheel is pretty tough.. Lol
You should change it if it's not working. Good luck

It is a bit hard to turn on low speeds. I was flushing it yesterday to rid some air in the system because the copper crush washer was done and was leaking bad, took an hour before the fluid calmed down. Replaced them with aluminum crush washers, so far so good, no leaks.

On my track and autox cars, I have run without PS but I would not recommend it on a daily driver. Won't do any harm aside from maybe a little spilled fluid, but it is NOT fun when trying to park.
On highways, it actually feels pretty great. It really makes the car feel more "direct"

OP for what it is worth i wouldnt lose the power steering unless ur using your car for drifting or drag racing. lets face it a luxury car with out power steering is like **** on a bull.
now if ur deleting it for a drift or drag car that u use on the streets your arms will get a work out. i deleted my 88 mustangs power steering and at higher speed it is fine to drive at parking lot speed it is a bit annoying as my toothpick arms have to work! lol again my mustang is not a daily driven car anymore and i deleted it for less parasitic drain and weight reduction.
