I need a new steering box and looked up variable ratio steering. Here's the definition from Wikipedia:
"At the center of the rack, the space between the teeth are smaller and the space becomes larger as the pinion moves down the rack. In the middle of the rack there is a higher ratio and the ratio becomes lower as the steering wheel is turned towards lock. This makes the steering less sensitive when the steering wheel is close to its center position and makes it harder for the driver to oversteer at high speeds."
I'm not sure this is exactly what is available for our coaches. We don't have rack and pinion steering. Regardless, if the available variable ratio boxes do the same thing ((reduce oversteer), it sounds like a good thing to have. Apparently variable ratio wasn't available when these coaches were new. Has anyone had problems with a variable ratio steering box? Do you like it? Where did you get it?
Look forward to hearing,,
