Yes, I remember asking my dad (after seeing one on a neighbors truck) why we didn't have one on the family station wagon. He said "because the ball can break off unexpectedly, :eek: causing accidents"...good enough for me. :)
Oh, about power steering...It came to mind that because they are trying to source cheap (inexpensive) parts that are currently in production, powersteering units may be cheaper & more readily available.

I found a picture of the proposed power steering power module... :D It's not finalized, however, so don't hold me to it.

If anybody remembers the old steering wheel knobs.............a good retro assist for maneuvering into that parallel parking space.........no power steering required. The one to the right even has a built in compass.

The good 'ole "Suicide Knob!" My father had one of these on his '55 Chevy truck he had as a teenager. Made of white porcelain.
