Unlike normal steering, it comes with enormous features such as sensors, pump, valves, actuator, and much more. Sensors are useful to sense the torque. Pump augments the pressure on the steering so that you have to apply zero force to handle it.
Valves help fluid to enter the sides of the steering system depending on its position or direction. Actuator helps front wheels to push to the one side. All of these elements work together to provide you with a smooth and efficient driving experience. So whenever you think about driving without power steering , make it clear in your mind that you have to put efforts and it might be difficult to control the vehicle as well. Depending on the size of a vehicle, driving without power steering can have different consequences.
Driving at the normal speed 40 to 60 at roadside can have less or no effects to be noticed especially when you are driving a smaller car. But when you try to drive at lower speed, it becomes hard to turn the steering wheel. You have to apply more force and the arm has to move to the greater angle. Moreover, parking a car can also be a tricky task with non-power steering. Adding power steering is a very popular modification for older vehicles, most notably old trucks or muscle cars.
These vehicles usually have large V8 engines that put a lot of weight over the front wheels, and the trucks often have large, heavy off-road tires that further exacerbate the problem.
Power steering reduces the amount of effort required to turn the wheel, especially at low speeds, so it makes these cars a lot more drivable. This would replace either manual steering, worn out factory power steering, or the hybrid of power assist steering that uses a ram cylinder and control valve actuating a sealed manual gearbox.
For some applications we offer a rack and pinion conversion as well to replace a worm-and-sector or recirculating-ball steering gearbox. These applications typically use a steering rack from a Ford Mustang II, which is fairly ubiquitous in the world of hot-rodding. Like Damian says, the fortwo is so light and rear engined that there isn't much weight over the front wheels. Have you taken a test drive? Good luck! Haz a seedy eye! Really as they all say, drive one! Make sure the tyres are properly inflated and you will be very surprised, there is so little weight on the front of a Smart that they really don't need PAS.
We have a customer with arthritis and she was sure she would need PAS but she drove, and parked, a standard one fine even on a bad day! Avoid the wider wheels as they will make the steering heavier. The other interesting thing we notice is that Smarts usually wear rear tyres much faster than fronts but on one with PAS the fronts wear faster!
Power Steering Retrofit Possible Thank you all for replying! I know it sounds ridiculous, but the steering was a noticeable effort. It was a new 08 model that i was test driving Passion and I so love the car's looks and everything about it.
It may well have been that the tyres were under inflated, because that is what it felt like.
