RE: Power Assisted Steering - Steering with your fingertip
I once had a power steering system fail on me. That was a hard drive afterwards.
Glad to hear that the electric assist systems are superior to the hydraulic systems because that is what my current vehicle has.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I drove a car as well with a malfunctioning power assist. It took me a great deal of effort to make a U-turn on a narrow road. Electrical control systems are becoming more popular in cars and are really making waves.
Thanks again for dropping by.
Not all electric assists are better.
The battery died in my car on a torrid day of summer and when I jumpstarted it, I had no electro-hydraulic steering. It was harder than on a car with no hydraulic system in the first place since you have to also compress the oil in the hydraulic system to steer, or maybe @temitayo-pelumi knows better :D
Anyway, it was impossible to drive through rush hour traffic so I backed it up and called for a platform.
