Power steering - electro-hydraulic

Post by garyd »

Has anyone fitted an electric pump unit to power the standard hydraulic power steering rack in their van? If so, what vehicle was the pump/reservoir sourced from and have you had any isseus with the installation? What is the weight of the steering like at low and high speeds? Just nice or too light, perhaps?

thanks
