smaller # of turns lock to lock = bigger pinion gear = more torque required to turn the wheel =

Just do a set of push-ups every morning and you'll be okay.

The only time it really matters is if youre trying to parallel park or something.



At speed, theyre both easy to turn.

well at speed you can turn a top fuel dragster w/o power steering and with a locked differential.



most of my manuvers are at lower speeds, so i'd like to make this as easy as possible.
