Darrin what year is your Yaris column?

 

[Darrin]

Hi Keith. Just emailed you.

It's between an 06 and an 11. It's a non-ABS type. Think all of these in those years were supposed to be identical. For some reason, I think mine is an 09. Renato's will be the same year range.

Three interesting links for Electric Power Steering:

Detailed write up with lots of pictures on column type electric power steering retrofit into early Ford Mustang that utilizes vehicle speed sensing to adjust assist level.: Best $200 mod ever (EPS). - Page 7 - Vintage Mustang Forums

This paper was as a result of variable assist level testing by Ford in the early days:

The last paper describes various test drivers from Ford driving various courses while an engineer in the back seat manually adjusted steering assist level while asking the driver is this better or worse?
