Great Basin Supplies Howard Steering System
The Howard Power Center Steering System is available through Great Basin truck companies nationwide. This system is optional on Great Basin new or used Class 8 trucks. Retrofitting the system also is possible at Great Basin service centers.
The Howard system corrects the three most common driving problems: crosswind driving, road wander, and steering wheel pull. This system keeps large trucks tracking straight, even in adverse conditions like crowned or rutted roads. This level of directional stability reduces driver fatigue by eliminating thousands of steering corrections needed to keep a rig on-center.
In a study by Bridgestone/Firestone, the Howard system has proven to increase steering tire life by as much as 55 percent with proper tire maintenance. The Howard system is manufactured by River City Products Inc of San Antonio TX.
