Curious note. I know what power steering is and its componants, but have heard of power assist. Is that another term for power steering or another different setup? What does power assist look like/work?

There is Integral Power steering and Power assist steering

Maybe check out the brake steering forum for steering specifics ?


This article talks of both.
