Power-racks with a failed pump don't count b.t.w, as the rack is still damped by the fluid in the hydraulics.
|
My rack had no fluid in it, and no lines attached, so it wasn't damped by anything. I maintain the steering had just as much feel with and without the power assitance working.

Assuming the front suspension's caster is about right, an unassisted rack will automatically correct oversteer if you simply release the steering wheel. How neat is that!?!?!!!
|
An assisted rack will do exactly the same thing... I used to do this in my Supra all the time when the P/S was working. Once again it depends on how the steering is set up; quite a lot of cars with P/S run little or no caster, hence the self-centering effect won't work.

Another benefit for driftmeisters is the unlimited speed with which the wheel can be ripped from lock to lock. A P/S setup is limited by how fast the pump can force that fluid into the rack.
|
This is true, but modern engines with a sufficiently large pump have no such problems. It might be a different story if we're talking AE86's with weenie P/S pumps though.
