94 YJ with standard steering
Just test drove a 94 YJ, only has 90,000 KM on it, about 45,000 miles,
anyway it was a bitch to steer, so I asked the guy if it was power steering,
he said no. Geez, was that an option you had to pay extra for in 94? I'm 42
years old and that's probably only the second or third vehicle I've ever
driven without power steering.

Re: 94 YJ with standard steering
Did you ask him just where the drive train came from or what frame and
drivetrain they stuck a YJ body on??
As far as I know all YJ's came with power steering.
You should look under the hood and see if the pump is there and just
disconnected, or if there are hose fittings on the steering box that
might have been removed when the PS pump failed and he didn't want to
spend the money for a fix.
Manual steering isn't bad, but disconnected power steering or
'armstrong' steering is a bugger. The steering boxes have different
gear ratios.

Re: 94 YJ with standard steering
Your used to drive Japanese front wheel drive cars where the power
steering is a control factor.

It shouldn't cost too much to get a new power steering unit installed.
I'd jump at it; that's some lo miles. Mine had about twice the mileage
when I bought it used.
