|  Does the recirculating ball type steering box allow steering kickback, 
where as a rack an pinion system will not?  I think I read that somewhere, 
sometime.

Interesting stuff as always, I seem to remember reading that in fact ball 
type steering had no or minimal kickback, whereas rack and pinion did, and 
this was one of the reasons rack and pinion was slower to be adopted than it 
might have been.
My memory could be faulty, but if you think about a rack vs. a worm and peg 
type design it would intuitiely seem as though kickback has an easier time 
of well kicking back.
