Just wondering if it is at all possible to fit power steering onto a 1986 340 1.7 GL? I am right in thinking that it is not possible at all?

Let me take you back 4 days ---> http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... 3&start=40
Are you really "not fussed about it"? Seems that you are given the repetition of the question
If you are actually fussed about it, stick "PAS" in the search box at the top and get 834 matches. Skim through them and you'll find things like:

etc., etc., etc.

Re: PAS
search is your friend bud. but to be honest, the PAS assembly is quite hard to come by, and if im honest, isnt needed. i drift and drive fine with no PAS, with a welded diff, with the heavier williams engine in. only time i really moan is when.parking, but thats really being picky. your top mount bearings ok? if the steering is heavy, might mean theyre wearing out.

Re: PAS
OK thanks dude i am going to be drifting it so that was kind of one of my worries but it drifts fine? Also i am gonna look at my top mounts and bearings and probably get new ones when i order my suspensionsearch is your friend bud. but to be honest, the PAS assembly is quite hard to come by, and if im honest, isnt needed. i drift and drive fine with no PAS, with a welded diff, with the heavier williams engine in. only time i really moan is when.parking, but thats really being picky. your top mount bearings ok? if the steering is heavy, might mean theyre wearing out.

Re: PAS
Thats sick! Where abouts is that? Is it just a massive roundabout? Also is that just a standard 1.7 engine?

Re: PAS
Thats quite a good little spot! Never get caught lol. Did you used to have 1.7? I was just wondering how well they drift?some place around bristol. I'm running a williams 2.0ltr. Have a look through that thread if you want to know more

Re: PAS
Cheers Mark! I used a go-pro, it uses a suction pad mount. It's a light camera, so stays on pretty well.
Ben, Yeah, the spot is great, a round-a-bout in the middle of no-where, no one is around. I used to have the 1.4 engine in it. It did drift, but pretty much only in the wet, and you had to push it hard. I didn't have it for too long with the 1.4 and drift it, just used it to drive around for a bit.

Re: PAS
I've got a 1.7 but i am not driving it yet and i was just wondering weather it will drift well or not :/I used to have the 1.4 engine in it.

Re: PAS
Yhh i am pretty sure that drifting with no pas will be ok but i am talking about power?i use my 360 for drifting, i find the pas to light tbh, starting to get ued to it abit better now but i would try without it first

Re: PAS
im pretty sure a 1.7 will drift, wont be so easy but more speed and throw it in harder and it will go with with the diff welded and stiffen it up abit, i think in the wet you wouldn't have any troubles, i have a standard 1.4 340 and you can have a laugh in that in the wet if you throw it hard enough
Re: PAS
Yeah should be fun with the 1.7 In the wet it should go out pretty easyim pretty sure a 1.7 will drift, wont be so easy but more speed and throw it in harder and it will go with with the diff welded and stiffen it up abit, i think in the wet you wouldn't have any troubles, i have a standard 1.4 340 and you can have a laugh in that in the wet if you throw it hard enough
