On a technical note, does anyone how do these units work out of interest?
On a simple level, I presume it senses movement of the wheel and multiplies the force applied to the steering box.
However, on a more detailed level, how does it do it? Is there a physical connection from the unit to the steering column to detect movement, then an electric motor drives a series of gears connected to the steering column (how?) to help power the turn? :?:
