Welcome to the site Tee! I haven't read any reviews on after market power steering, but I figured I'd bump this post and see if anyone else had any thoughts for you.

My DPS went out and was replaced by Dealer.  I looked into the aftermarket power steering a little when I was thinking the factory one could be an ongoing problem.  It since has been fine so I haven't done much more with it.  I do know the can am steering works different as your speed changes so less help at high speed and more help at low speed.  I couldn't find where the aftermarket one did that.  It may, but I just didn't see it listed.  I think I was looking at super atv one or something like that.  Also the factory one has to be zeroed straight ahead using the can am BUDS diagnostic computer.  I'm not sure how you zero the aftermarket system.  Those are a few questions I would ask before buying one.  Your friend may have those answers or the seller should.

I was looking at the super atv ones instruction manual and it plugs into the computer so that may explain the zero issue. if anyone else has any insight please chime in. super interested in power steering due to the fact that  I bought it to spray chemicals for my lawn service and it would make things much easier on the old fore arms.
