fronty pas or light steer car

[crash_ndie]

my uncle he has motor neuron so his upper mussel are wasting away and steering has become very hard for him, hes currently driving a doblo and struggling with it now .... hes had a go at the megan and said its a bit lighter but still tad heavy lock to lock. I've suggested a swb fronty for the height getting in and out but he wouldn't be able to move the wheel.. so could i install a corsa b electric steering column on a fronty leaving the original set up alone, sort of a push along system?

If not what car has lightest steering, has to be mpv height so rules the punto city steer out ..

2.0 Sport I would reckon. Smallest with the lightest engine.

I would say the B series would be lighter having a rack as opposed to a box though.

Someone who has owned both as sports would be the nest to speak to.

Dot think so I have only seen swb B serise autos

make sure both front tyres are fully inflated to the max psi, i also find that when the front has been jacked up for any reason the steering is slightly lighter for a while ( funk knows why ) also has he tried a steering wheel knob -

so looking good for a swb b then, would the electric coluom work ok with the existing hydrolic set up

Don't over inflate the tyres .. you will compromise heavily on traction and get major uneven tyre wear.

As for the electric column I have no idea .. you can get universal powere steering systems. You have to remember that the Frontera is an Isuzu .. the Corsa is a Vauxhall for compatibility issues. Some things are cross compatible .. others aren't.

A skinnier tyre would be a better option .. though might look a little funny if the offset is out.
