Re: Electric Steering

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have not but Car and Driver did a review comparing the two systems (not Mopar)
http://www.caranddriver.com/features/electric-vs-hydraulic-steering-a-comprehensive-comparison-test-feature
One incentive is the electric gives more MPG so the car companies are jumping on it.

You can talk to Firm Feel  http://www.firmfeel.com/ and Steer and Gear http://www.steerandgear.com/
to see what they suggest could improve your car's  manual steering. 

Flaming River sells a quick ratio 16:1 new Mopar manual steering box though I can't recall the years it fits. 

You could also consider switching your 330 to traditional power steering.

Let us know what you discover. 

Thanks,
Gary H.
