It would certainly not pass in Qld. Nothing does

Not knowing what type of steering it is but the add does say Hydro assisted steering so that is your basic power steering or Hydraustatic spool controling a ram on the draglink or could be a mechanically operated spool operating a ram, all of which if you lost Hydraulic pressure you would still have steering but damn heavy.

Dont know what would pass in QLD, I have heard from some of you guys up there that they can be a bit disagreeable on modded vehicals though It seems chassis lengthening and stuff like that seems to be done up there rather than NSW or Vic so it must just be the day you go in like here with Vic roads.

Yea, hydraulic assist is a ram connected to your steering arm, "assisting" your steering, similar to what was used on falcans....well generally fairlanes in the eraly 70's so if it failed you still have steering,, albeit with greater effort required, as opposes to FULL hydraulic, like you'd find on alot of forklifts
