enjoying a spike of activity. (That and I'm not really active in
any current forums.)<br>
<br>
The general conclusion I draw from reading reviews and
approximately zero experience is that electrical PS systems suck
because they lack feedback. This seems to be the case across
segments, whether the cars be sporty or appliance.<br>
<br>
I've been struggling to understand why. C&D did a article on
this a year or 2 ago but it didn't really help me much. As I
understand it, hydraulic PS systems use hydraulic pressure to push
the steering rack in one direction or the other when the rack is
off center, and when the rack is on center then the system pushes
neither way. Why can't electric systems produce the same type of
assist? Why are they necessarily numb? <br>
<br>
Feel free to ignore if this is too much for one day! :-)<br>
