$100 Power Steering? Yes you can. Use Column Electric Power Steering (EPS) !
Another bright idea!
My background is power steering from my days at Ford Motor Company. All manufactures has slowly changed over to electric power assist steering due to simplicity, efficiency and elimination hydraulic fluid. Sadly, the advancement in electric steering by the Japanese manufacturers like Koyo lead to closure of our plant because we only made Hydraulic!

Saturn Vue - from 2002 to 2007<o

Chevrolet Equinox - from 2005 to 2007<o

Saturn Ion - from 2003 to 2006 - only in steering column with metal ECU case.
These columns usually have tilt and telescopic function. These columns are $38 from pica-a-part and the interface module is $65. For about $100, you can have power steering and it cannot get any cheaper than that. Why spend $1000+ on power steering when you can do it for $100. Additionally, the electric motor is hidden under the dash!

On to pic-a-part! I have too many things to finish on my Falcon but his will be my winter project!
