That has to be your call. The electric steering in my opinion has a built-in dead spot. It CAN also overheat, unlike s belt driven hydraulic. I took mine in already for routine oil service w no prob. Am waiting however to get the damper (death wobble source) replaced. Don't expect troubles
My dead spot is in the box, turn the wheel and pitman arm doesn’t move until past the dead spot, I am not convinced it matters whether it is hydraulic or electric.
The kit completely replaced the factory box. Problem solved. Oh, the new box can be adjusted!
mine is at least that bad, when new it had zero slop.
Did you get the one with ram? How bad was the install?
I think most others have the dead spot in the box as well. Swapping others parts is like chasing ghosts if the box has slop.
I don’t know what is has to do with the thread, but what a beautiful 356
I called the Tazer mfg a while ago and they said that it only disables the steering pump error codes from the computer. It doesn’t allow you to make any steering pump sensitivity adjustments. I suggested that they add this feature. Did they?
It's not "electric steering" that has a dead spot. I have two GM vehicles with electric steering and both are tight, very tight. One is a pickup with 33x12.50 tires. The JL steering issue is its own.
I'd fake a family emergency and ask the dealer to let you out of the deal. It sucks and I've put so much money into steering. Each 1k it gets 10% better but when you start at a shat show it may take 8k to make it marginally tolerable and family still won't drive it.
You will need luck too this MIGHT fix it. 22 other variables and more money likely to follow.
Did not get ram. Essentially, the hydraulic package replaces everything that was electrical. Including the electric steering box. Also got the Tazer Mini JL. Now, my ride doesn't insist on cutting off the engine at every stop sign, among other fun things. Worth checking THAT out too!
