POWER STEERING

[rustybolt]

How can i find out if my car has it?

Just fitted drilled and grooved discs and uprated pads all round, but I had to snip some sensors off the pads (Wear indicators?).

What am I looking for? Sometimes it locks up when I slam on but mostly it doesnt.

Its an 02 VTR

Thanks

whats power steering got to do with locking wheels?
anyhow if its powersteering your after you will have it as its a vtr, to confirm you will see some pipes going over the box and to the pump if its electric.

If its ABS your reffering to then where the master cylinder is it should have 2 outputs that go into a ABS unit that has 4 outputs (2 inputs from the mastercylinder as well)
if you dont have this or your master cylinder has 4 pipes off it you dont have ABS.
