QUOTE(azbro @ Nov 24 2017, 06:34 AM) Yeah... Imagine going 200 and this shit happens Above certain speed, EPS will disable itself so steering will be a bit heavier. Only slower speed or parking where EPS will kick in full time.This post has been edited by acbc: Nov 24 2017, 07:17 AM |

QUOTE(lowya @ Nov 24 2017, 07:19 AM) thats why prefer cars without too much electronic controls. EPS to save cost. Hydraulic power steering still the best. Need regular maintenance but reliable. Hardly find EPS will last more than 5 years. |
