My question is, what parts do you need to convert a car to power steering and are any parts specific to the facelift/pre facelift? Cheers

Right, I've got an 86 320i and having just put some wider wheels on I've decided I really need power steering in my life.

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated. One last question, could I get all the parts from a facelift 320 and fit them to my pre facelift or are any parts specific to the cars age?
