I had the same opinion about the power steering on my 16V, compared to my
previous 8V which didn't have power steering. I improved the steering
somewhat by replacing alot of worn components(strut bearing, ball joints,
etc). But the thing I added that really seemed to make it feel better to
me, was the Velocity diff shim kit. This may sound odd, but it was a very
noticeable improvement to me. Before doing all of this work, I had wanted
to convert to manual steering, but I think I am happy with how it feels now...
