i read in a bunch of magazines the you CAN NOT go larger on the tires though because the rear steering can't take the extra weight and traction of the extra width...

it was prohibitivly expensive... no one wanted to pay for the $5,000 option. It seems that the system is reliable and it's supposed to revert to normal steering and straighten the rear wheels if a problem is detected. with them now on the used market for a decent price it may be reasonable to purchase, just keep in mind replacement parts may be hard to come by.

About 5000 per year from 02 through 04
I have had no problems with mine. You should see the looks I get from people on parking lots. From a red light I can do a U turn from inside lane to inside lane. The handling on Mountain roads is unblievable.
Birdhunter you have a PM

I have the whole service manual for the rear steer laying around here somewhere, If anyone's interested I'll try to find it...
