I've never read or heard of power steering being an OEM option on a 95 or 96. From the look of the hardware in the picture, it appears that someone grafted a hydraulic ram from some other application onto a standard 95/96 steering rack (note that the ram looks a lot newer and cleaner than the rest of the items in the photo, and also note the somewhat rustic bolt-on attachment hardware.)
It could have been an aftermarket package, but the nights are long in the Land of the Midnight Sun and I'm guessing that some clever do-it-yourselfer devised the rig as a bit of garage entertainment, adapting it from various other bits. I wonder what he used for a valve?
No reason it wouldn't work, but I wonder what it does to steering feel...
