273 power steering

So just how much do you need to turn when you're stopped?

No really, if it takes that much force at the wheel all the parts in the front end are seeing a lot of force too. Power steering gives you the ability to effortlessly wear out your front end and never know you're doing it..

I'm not trying to start argument in this thread. I only caution against buying into the many unproven theories we find on the internet.
Resistance from scrubbing rubber tires on asphalt is what it is. Power steering requires less effort from the driver so maybe those arms will last longer. I wont agree that there is a significant difference in wear rate of the mechanical parts with and with out power steering.
