Power Steering
- Description
Power steering systems development and electrification has both lowered the fuel consumption and reduced their need for service and repair. Electric power steering systems becoming more common has also allowed for additional equipment, such as Parking Assist and Lane Departure Aid to become more common on vehicles today. Hydraulic and electro-hydraulic systems have not disappeared though, due to greater steering feel.
