It feels fine I guess. Not sure how to answer. Anything was better than the sway and leaks I had with the stock PS setup.
I am looking at converting to Rack and pinion soon though. It can be a little tough to turn big tires in a tight spot, but that was ok with me.

how can it improve?....on my way to prom years ago, I had one of my hoses blow, and I just kept driving..(what was I gonna do?) and I tell you what, I had to crank HARD on that wheel after about 20 minutes. Almost impossible to pull into a parking spot too....

so...does it drive straighter? Its kinda hard to keep mine straight becase the wheel moves so easily with the P/S. I bet it feels more modern while in motion, but is it worth it? I mean...with my experiance, parking lots are murder on the arms and shoulders...
