Start lifting weights instead, it'll be an easier changeover. Mine doesn't have power steering, and I don't miss it unless I have to parallel park (practically never). Driving down the road and navigating turns doesn't require any hard effort either. I prefer the cleaner engine compartment look, less engine drag, and no possible leaks to deal with. But if you need to make a sharp turn steering one-handed while shaving, talking on the cell phone, and sipping on your slurpee, that's different.

Turn your steering wheel from lock to lock, and count the number of turns.

the less number of turns, the tighter the ratio. most people want the least number of turns from their box. makes for a better road feel and quicker steering
