    Sir, need your advices regarding the following...
    a) How much would it cost to have my car converted to power steering?
    b) What are the pros and cons to consider?
    c) How about the maintenance, magastos po ba?
    d) Advisable po ba to upgrade it to power steering or just let it stay that way?

    May kabigatan po kasi talaga idrive yung auto since pawis steering sya, you will need a lot of efforts to make a maneuver Kakainggit po kasi yung mga nakikita kong old skul cars din pero naililiko using only one hand.

    By the way, ride is nissan. Your immediate response will be very much appreciated. TY

    Nissan what? You're asking for costs pero you're not being specific.

    would you consider instead, selling your car and getting an already power steering car? that way, you won't have to worry about conversion and suffer the headaches..
    consider this: your car is old and you probably have some difficulty getting spare parts for it.. you may not be able to get the parts for the conversion..
    perhaps you can get thinner tires, to lessen the pawis in steering..

    Sir dr. d, we are presently in the restoration stage, so selling the car is definitely not an option. Thanks

    simple solution is that: Just get an already power directing car? that way, you won't have to worry about modification and encounter the issues..

    Pros lang niyan, it will be easier to drive and mas madali i-benta.

    Pero since nasa restoration age ka na, kung OEM restoration ang gagawin mo I'd suggest stick to the original oem-spec of the car. Kung pawis steering then so be it. Luma naman ata yung car so tires are most likely thin, madali lang naman i-drive yan.
