HOWARD POWER CENTER STEERING™ SYSTEM

Heres the latest scoop on the Howard Active Steering System parts availability.

I spoke with Sam Kopecky today, the representative, last man standing at Howard. skopecky@campingworld.com Cell# 1-210-422-8484. Sam was a tech person at Howard before it went OB. Nice guy, he feels badly that he can not be of much help.

Here is the deal. They have enough parts to cover the needs of existing warrantee customers maybe. They have not manufactured new parts for a while and have no inventiory, none. PS. You can by the patents and molds, the company for $200K maybe a lot less. There are about 4500 customers using the steering system.

If you know anyone who has a Howard Active Steering dampener, Hydraulic cylinder part # 10A001-10-H I am a customer. this is a 10" cylinder, they had two models a 10 and 12". This one is for a independent front end Prevost and sits right next to the Prevost dampener.

Thanks.

Well one a you guys with the thing is gonna have to let me check it out, behind the wheel with a good hard crosswind.

I've never seen this on a truck and either has everyone I have asked.

Ya know how many stiff necks I've encountered over the years that it would have eliminated.

Sam is the best saleman they ever had, even though he never sold anything. He said that they have 66 documented cases of the system holding a front blow out straight and steady. He got my vote, and said that Howard, now 89 was so intent on making the tolerances so close. He felt that to make the system work well, everything had to be just so. apparently it makes for a difficult exchange process of certain parts. have to heat up brackets to get some parts out, like the cylinder from the bracket.
