A mechanism enabling the integration of power-assisted steering into vehicles not originally equipped with it is an aftermarket solution. This typically includes hardware and components required for a seamless installation, allowing older or simpler vehicles to benefit from enhanced maneuverability and reduced steering effort. For example, a classic car owner might utilize this to modernize their vehicle’s handling characteristics.
The incorporation of power-assisted steering offers considerable advantages, notably improved driving ease and reduced driver fatigue, especially during low-speed maneuvers and parking. This enhancement can significantly improve the overall driving experience and safety. Historically, the absence of this feature was common in older vehicle models, prompting the development of these kits to address a specific need for improved vehicle control.
