Electric power steering questions
I'm curious if anyone has attempted to retrofit an electric power steering (EPS) system into a C3? At a cursory glance it looks like it wouldn't be much more difficult to install than your usual rack conversion, and it would seem beneficial to me to do away with the pump/belt/fluids. Has anyone done any research or have any thoughts about this?

Thought about it a bunch of times. A key problem is finding one the correct width to eliminate bumpsteer issues.

Hi
I know a guy who installed a electric hydraulic pump .
Same here, no belt etc.
And he says that he has full flow at low engine speed, like idle, where you need it most.
Cost around 500 Euros over here, probably 400 USD over your side ( everything is more expensive here
).
