I had a Vaxhual electric setup from the UK installed in one of out =
Tigers. It was great around town or on a curvey road. (you can dial in =
the amount of =E2=80=9Cboost=E2=80=9D you want.=20

Michael is very correct in that the installation was very neat, even in =
the LHD version I had. (about the only mod needed was to trim one of the =
metal defroster ducts under the driver=E2=80=99s side of the dash.)=20
=20
However I did not like the power steering unit on the open road. I never =
was able to get it to track as well as the stock setup on the highway. I =
added all the caster I could (even wedged the cross member) but I was =
never happy with it. It was just too twitchy on straight roads and I do =
a lot of long distance highway driving in our Tigers. After an 8-hour =
drive I just found myself working too much. I couldn=E2=80=99t relax. I =
pulled it out & went back to the stock setup. The EPS unit is now =
resting quietly on some shelf in the garage. On the other hand, if I =
were driving daily on twisty mountain roads I=E2=80=99d go back to it in =
a second.

There are several ways to introduce power steering to the Tiger,

In the UK and Australia people use the vaxhual/holden/opel astra =
electric setup mounted to a donor alpine top section of the steering =
column, very neat mounts under the dash and keeps all the stock =
components from the firewall forward..

There are also several people who have used hydraulic setups from mazda =
