 The steering gear is hydraulically powered via a pump that is attached to the engine. The pump requires that the engine spins continuously while the car is in operation, e.g. for reversing into a parking lot. The steering gear is hydraulically powered via a pump that is attached to the engine.

 In case of electrical drive, we want to allow the motor to stop when it is not required for propulsion, so it will normally not be suited anymore for driving the hydraulic pump. Besides, you need a more-expensive two-ended motor to drive the pump via a belt transmission. And finally, the hydraulic power steering costs a lot of precious energy. In case of electrical drive, we want to allow the motor to stop when it is not required for propulsion, so it will normally not be suited anymore for driving the hydraulic pump.

-For my project, I have decided to simply replace the power steering by a conventional steering gear. This has already been mentioned in the chapter "​[[astra_conv:​base_vehicle:​restoration:​front_suspension_steering|base vehicle - restoration - front suspension]]", see also some pictures of the steering gears there.+For my project, I have decided to simply replace the power steering by a conventional steering gear.
