Why good steering is endangered.
Why have cars stopped talking to us? Much of the blame has been laid upon electric power steering. Compared with its hydraulic predecessor, the electric power steering rack has more internal friction, which can blanket inputs from the tires. It's also daunting to tune, typically featuring some 400 to 500 computer-adjustable parameters. Finally, interactions with other components can vary, so a car with a great-feeling hydraulic setup might not be very satisfying if electric steering is retrofitted.
