That is a pretty interesting looking setup. I've ridden 4X4 atvs with electric power steering and they are pretty sweet. I've wondered how durable they are and what happens when they do go bad. It would suck if your steering didn't work if it failed.

I like to be about 3 years behind the cutting edge of technology, most of the bugs are worked out by then. :lol:

Any idea if yours works like this? It would be a pain if you had to have a Vehicle Speed Sensor to make it work. What is yours out of?

I got it from a colbalt, the wire schematics shows it needs high speed lan feeds. I'm not sure if it works without it.
