Great Basin Supplies Howard Steering System
The Refrigerated Transporter Staff

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.
I have this system on my coach. have tried it a couple of times and the way I drive I am not sure that it makes a huge difference. I also have a leak in the main cylinder and have been trying to find a source for a new one. I spoke with a fellow who represented Mr. Howards business assets, as Howard is no longer in business. Maybe it is possible that the company you referenced has purchased the equipment to manufacture the necessary parts, but as of a few weeks ago there were none and no one had any way to make new ones. I would be interested to find out.
