      with these EPS we've got an extra source of CAN Bus errors.
      The EPS module has a learned "centering function" to help the vehicle drive straight else car is unstable around neutral.

    This reminds me of citroen's hydraulic diravi steering. There was no physical linkage too, a kind of physical backup linkage would apply only in the case the hydraulic system would fail. It was very comfortable for the time it has been built but it was very soft and did give allmost no feedback from wheels to steering wheel.
