Well so have I. RAF Land Rover Defenders playing on their off-road
course, one with PS one without. Sure the one without was a bit heavier
but even the girls could drive it around without too much trouble.


Was the one without PS designed for it with the quicker rack they
typically have, or did it have a rack designed for manual steering?
That's where the difference comes from.


Defenders have recirculating ball 'worm' boxes..not a rack IIRC.
