Without actually going to school you can read a book. Here is one.http://www.amazon.com/Automotive-Steering-Suspension-Alignment-Edition/dp/0132747766
The cap on the power steering reservoir will tell you what you require. ATF for BMW's without the self leveling suspension. If you do have a suspension system, then use Pentosin CHF 11S or CHF 7.1 or LHM.
50/50. Chance that it will damage something.
check motor and transmission mounts first. check steering and suspension parts.
as long as you are on a smooth road with no bumps, as long as you want. your rubber boots are probably not inflated.
The power steering is "variable", and the sliding switch changes how much boost or assist is given. At one extreme you have some degree of force/strength needed to turn the wheel, at the other extreme you have maximum assist and it takes no where near any significant effort to steer the car. The 'good' side of the extreme extra boost might be for a person with arthritis or who is otherwise weakened. (I had an elderly aunt with very bad arthritis; she would have benefitted from extreme power steering assist like this.) The 'bad' side of the extreme extra boost (in my opinion) is it is very easy to oversteer and overcorrect. Personally in my '95 town car if I had it set to one extreme with max boost I would tend to wander driving down the highway, the steering feedback is not enough for my likes. Actually even the other extreme doesn't go far enough for me, I would prefer more effort and feedback through the steering. (Comes from having learned driving on a lot of old Chevy trucks that had very hard manual steering, maybe.) More on the subject: When my air suspension went out and I had a traditional coil spring rear suspension installed, the internet vendor who sold me the conversion warned me not to just pull the fuse to the air suspension system...as the same module that controlled the air suspension had a separate circuit that controlled the variable power steering....if one pulls the fuse to the control module one also ends up with the power steering in maximum boost. yecch! Fortunately the vendor sent me a blurry scan of a fax of what wire to cut behind the glove box to disable the air suspension idiot light on the dash (since I no longer have air suspension), without screwing up the power steering. IF the switch doesn't do anything for you one way or another, and steering is extremely "light", check your fuses, maybe someone pulled the one for the air suspension.
Can 22 inch rims fit a cadillac dts without suspension
That is a device located under the steering wheel that allows the electrical connections to accessories on the steering wheel to rotate without breaking. It resembles a clock spring from and old wind up clock.
It is not illegal to drive without power steering. Many people who drive very old cars do not have power steering.
An extreme measure by Lincoln to stop Maryland voting Confederate (which would have had Washington DC totally surrounded by enemy states). He jailed Maryland's pro-Southern leaders without trial.
