General How can I tell if the Seicento has power steering?

just to add to that, if anyone is interested at all lol or before someone pulls me up on it. Caster adjustments are not for steering weight, its just a result of.. adding positive caster increases straight line stability and helps the front wheels self centre if you let go of the wheel and it actually improves cornering stability as well as it effects camber as the wheel turns so the wheels lean into a turn as it were, and having more caster means more camber with wheels turned.

As with all things alignment though there's a balance, to much caster and the car becomes twitchy and hard to control, particularly coming out of a bend onto a straight, once straight it will want to keep going straight etc etc. But another result of more caster is the steering gets heavy, quicker than the twitchy problem generally speaking.

So a net result of this is newer cars with heavily assisted steering will have more caster than an older car without PAS or a car with less assisted PAS.

And to loop all that back to cinqs and seis - non PAS sei are rare, noone seems to list a separate top mount - but a cinq top mount is the same thing as a non-PAS sei top mount and has its own part number you can order with. ;)
