Re: Recirculating Ball
well for one recirculating ball gives no feedback.
the whole point of it is it isolates you from the road.
so you don't feel the bumps, which was good for the MB of old, where comfort was above all else
but
the cost to that is you don't get any feedback.
you don't get any sense when the tires are loosing traction or how much grip you have in a corner.
rack and pinion transfers a lot of energy from the bumps but the advantage to that is you feel exactly what the tires are doing.
which is why if you look at almost all the other manufacturers of sports car.s
they all use rack and pinion.
and even MB no longer uses it for the newer models since they are trying to be sporty as well.
i have owned both, and there really is a world of difference.
you might not notice if you are a cruiser.
but if you ever drive fast in corners you notice it immediately.
