Big fan. 2002 toyota echo, manual , 210000 km.  Curb hit underside steering pinning  pushing it upward.  Changed the control arm, the subframe & power steering unit. Did the wheel aligment.  Still now the steering is very light & has no road feel.  If I take out the power steering belt, making it a manual steering, will it damage the steering hydraulic unit.  The dealership told me eventually the steering pump will leak from inactivity.  The fluid will leak on to the rack & pinion.  Is that true & is it not advisable to take out the steering belt?  Pls answer & also any other tips to make the steering feel more solid, heavier & has more road feel just like before the curb hit.  Thanks.
