Re: 993 Steering issue

are you really really sure the power steering is working?  how do you know 
it's working?  there is a small belt that drives the pump and it's nearly 
invisible and a pain to get at - but with most of the weight on the rear, 
even without PS the car will steer OK.  At least PS would be my first 
guess -
