Power Steering
 

I had trouble with steering my car this year, made one race and had to give up the year. It's a Challenger which never came with standard steering, so no power assist and no hydraulics. Now all new cars have electric power steering. We made an electric power steering system with a switch to turn it off. Anybody have a problem like that, pm me and I can give you the details.

Also, if anyone needs an electric power steering rack, I have one out of a 2016 Challenger. $200.00 plus the ride. Dyno.763-227-336six.

Dyno, I might want it for my pink car, but I ain't gonna pay you. Will swap for beer. I got to get another shoulder replaced tomorrow hence the need for power steering. I will call you in a week or so.

Re: Power Steering
 

Mr Jeff if you keep getting all these body parts replaced you're going to become a robot! Good luck with the shoulder.

I believe Mr.Jeff will become Iron Man.

Well Teuton, all I've got to say is all of these "replacement parts" had better be NHRA approved!!! And no monkey business! (but get well and feel better)

Re: Power Steering
 

Mr Jeff, the circle boys have a much simpler solution , a ratio multiplier .
They come in either 1.5 to1 or 2 to1 ratios and fit inline with the steering shaft.
This one from Howe Racing Products costs only $100 .

Re: Power Steering
 

Tom, Wouldn't you want something slower, for less steering effort?
Maybe a 1.5 , in reverse?

Re: Power Steering
 

Mark, think of it like a transmission . if the power rack only has, say , a 4to 1 ratio the reducer at 2 to 1 will make it move like a manual rack with 8 to 1 reduction.
But technically ,yes, you will use it backwards to increase the ratio , not decrease it .
The reducer is used by the circle racers to slow down the steering on big tracks .

Re: Power Steering
 

I guess I need to put out an APB here.

Is there anyone here that is familiar with GM electric power steering unit control modules, such as on the HHRs ?
Or anyone who is computer savvy that could figure out what these modules are looking for in terms of an input signal from the body module (speedo) ?

Thanks in advance

This guy put a Vue electric assist steering unit on a Ford Ranger and used this controller box with a knob to control the amount of assist. Here:

Thanks, Rick
I wrote to the guy, who's in Portugal. He doesn't list HHR's. Maybe they didn't sell them there. We shall see.
