Less turns lock to lock will increase steering effort.

Well, you could always use a Prius column and do it yourself! It's not rocket appliances. Mine turned out great, and I have full adjustability with a potentiometer.
The steering column is something I wouldn't want problems with when travelling at 70+MPH (or 5MPH for that matter). That's why I did my own... that and the ability to adjust assistance and cost/availability of the parts.

Any pics of the damaged.I got the EPS kit from "Cole" and had an interesting experience with being the first buyer from him. I sent him my column and he say he would like to send me his original as it was quicker turn around rather than waiting for him to convert my original column. I said I would take his if it was in as good of condition as mine being my car has 70k miles, he said it was so he sapped my ignition on to his modified column.
I received the column and found the splines on the bottom of the column all messed up to where I couldn't get the u-joint to slip over to connect it to the steering rack. I ended up having to modify it to get it back to usable condition which I am not too pleased with. Cole said it was damaged during shipping and was contacting them for insurance purposes, never heard back from him. I reached out months later and he said he was still trying to figure out what happened.
I have not installed it yet but it does seem straight forward for the most part. The EPS box has about 10 or so wires coming off it and you are only set to use three, It would be great if he cut the wires that are not to be used to clear up confusion as it comes in a big bundle of unknown wires. I will try to get this installed soon to be sure everything works and report back.
Overall- It's awesome he is offering this at a reasonable price but unfortunate I had the experience I had. His communication was great but the workmanship ion the product was lacking as it looked like he hadn't don't too much welding before tackling this but im sure it gets the job done. Just my .02 on ordering the EPS kit.
Any pics of the damaged.
Thanks for letting us know Bobby. I thought we were waiting to start on part 2 after the gears were done. Just sent him my info.
I was waiting as well. Info sent.Thanks for letting us know Bobby. I thought we were waiting to start on part 2 after the gears were done. Just sent him my info.
I dont think its that as we are still paying customers but its a bulk order and they gave me times from development to processing times and its still well within the times for them, i dont know how they work or if they have a job list or not but i do not want to annoy them by asking all the time thats for sureI am sure this doesn't rank too highly on their priority list. Whenever they do them, I will be appreciative to you, Bobby, and to them. Thanks again for organizing this opportunity.
