This steering control is ideal for people with arthritis.

Reduced Effort Steering
Reduced Effort Steering modification boxes and steering racks are available for most American vans and most cars with factory power steering. All factory power steering units will be modified to low or no effort. Standard factory power steering requires approximately 40 ounces of effort to operate. Steering modifications can reduce the required effort to 20-24 ounces (low effort) or 6-8 ounces (no effort). (These statistics will vary depending on model of vehicle and tire size)
Backup Steering Systems
Emergency power assisted steering if factory power steering system fails. Test circuits are provided which enable customers to check system prior to driving. Audio and visual alarms alert driver to factory power steering failure–backup system instantaneously activates. Backup system has its own 2 quart fluid reservoir (factory steering comes with about 1 1/2 pints). NMEDA/QAP Guidelines require Backup Steering Systems for all Reduced Effort steering modifications.
