February 15, 2012 (Cookeville, TN) Installing modern power steering just got a whole lot easier with American Powertrain’s new EZ Electric Power Steering system. Introduced several years ago for popular Ferrari, Jaguar and Porsche models, American Powertrain is bringing this cutting edge technology to your favorite muscle car, sports car, street rod or custom.
EZ electric power steering replaces the top section of your existing steering column with a computer controlled electric motor assisted column. Completely hidden under the dash, the car will appear as stock, but when you turn the key the magic begins as the integrated computer senses torque and speed, providing light steering effort at low speeds and almost no assist at highway speeds for ultimate feel and accuracy.
