I have also had a HK which I converted to power steering and the feel, at first, was a bit awkward, after about 1/2 an hour you get use to it and its fine. Warren

If so you'd want to change to them.

If so you'd want to change to them. No, the steering arms are all the same for HK-HG AFAIK, BUT they do use the 16.7:1 GTS steering box which does make quite a difference to road feel. Dr Terry
