STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
TIGHT/STIFF STEERING HAS RESULTED IN INDEX AND MIDDLE FINGERS BECOMING BENT AND TWISTED TO CONFORM TO THE CONTOUR OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HIGH EFFORT DAMAGE TO THE FINGERS ARE IRREVERSABLE. THIS HAS A CRIPPLING EFFECT IN THAT IT CAUSE THE TENDONS TO MOVE OFF CENTER TO THE FINGERS AND REDUCES THE GRIPING EFFORTS OF THE HANDS AND RESTRICTS FINGER MOVEMENT. THIS STIFF STEERING RESULTS IN SHOULDER PAIN WHICH OFTEN FORCES PEOPLE TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION BECAUSE THE PAIN RADIATED DOWN THEIR ARM AND THEY THINK THEY ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK AND IF VISIT THE HOSPITAL FOR SUCH. THE SHOULDER PAIN HAS ALSO RESULTED IN AN INCREASE IN PHYSICAL THERAPY TREATMENTS. THIS INFORMATION PRESENTED BY MY FRIEND MIKE TOMICH 989, 665-2311 [email protected] DT
