Electric PS
 
As I'm reading some posts here, I see some of you are running larger 18" wheels on your SS. Correct me if I'm wrong, the SS's power steering the traditional hydro, where as the LS/LT is electric.

So therefore, my question is, will larger wheels cause the electric PS to overwork? And because electric PS is "artificial" in feel, therefore, do you actually feel any different in handling?

Incorrect, every cobalt and HHR built have electric steering. The only time the electric steering may cease functioning is if you put the system under severe load repeatedly with little cool down time. For example a tight auto-cross track.
