Electronic steering

[Texasmark]

remember, everything man-made will fail

the probability that a steel cable in a sheath fails vs a steering system that stops working because battery voltage is low (like from an alternator that goes south) or a capacitor decides that its time to go when you are 20 miles from shore

just google the plethora of failed electric steering stories that have popped up in the last 10 years. Its like the failures of BMW electronics.

best captured here:


I would go hydraulic before electric.

Noticed how many "new??" companies are getting into the auto repair insuring business. They use that logo
"remember, everything man-made will fail." Gotta be money in the business.....I guess....time will tell.

Agreed. I still haven’t given up my points ignition lol. Luddite-ism is hard to shake! I thought of getting the Delco EST and then had thoughts “what if the original modules go NLA and then all we have is parts store junk!”….
However I am willing to swap
My old Quadrajet for an Edelbrock 1409 when it gets too old for a normal rebuild & cleaning to help….
