Power steering when converting IC vehical to full electric
Power steering when converting IC vehical to full electric
(OP)
Hi,
I was just wondering what you guys thought would be the best plan of action when faced with the problem of power steering when converting an IC car (say honda civic say 94) to electric. Ive come up with a number of ways to overcome this:
1. No power steering and just adjust the suspension geometry (reducing scrub and trail).
2. Add electric motor to pump assembly (variable power in relation to speed).
3. Replace rack with new one equiped with electric asssistance.
What do you guys think? any other possibilities?

Has to be said with skinny tires I'm not convinced you need PAS.
