i was talking to my uncle a week ago and he was telling me that he's thinking of selling his car coz of its lack of power steering (a very important feature once u get older). its a 1990 BMW 316i with 40,000 kms on it. it is in metacilous condition and i would hate to see it go. i told him that he can install power steering mechanism on it and keep it maybe as a second car or something.
so what r the facts and myths about installing it ? will it work properly ? are there any problems associated with it ? how much will it cost ?

I think you might find that there isn't room for the booster, and there might not be a power steering rack made for it. I just got a used power steering rack for my truck for $150US after an accident. I'm not sure on the booster though.
