Those of us that have driven a lot of cars will agree that in comparison to other cars in our class our steering suffers. The use of rack and pinion would have helped this issue greatly but at a cost to Dam./Chrys. that they were unwilling to spend.
Has anyone done any research on a conversion for our car. Has anyone had enough experiance in steering systems that may shed light on the possibility
of converting to a rack and pinion?
This was my primary grip about the car. The steering gives zero feedback. After driving a few BMW's and Hondas(owned 2 93-97 preludes) around i couldn't understand why a more intuitive and responsive rack wasn't put into this car. it basically 1980's tech, they put a steering dampner on it mainly because the rack oscillates. without it the car would wander all over the place its a rather dated and poor design.
