Many of the early systems used mechanical ways to manage the distribution of power to the four wheels. The brake hydraulic control module on these vehicles has at least 12 valves. This decoupling of the driveline can reduce rotating mass and load on the engine. Many AWD systems came onto the market in the 1990s.

Electric power steering was once a technology found on exotic rear engine supercars. In the late 1980s, many cars now had wide front tires and it was difficult to route hydraulic lines from the engine bay to the front of the vehicle and the rack. It serves the same function as a spool valve in a hydraulic power steering system.

If the wheel binds up with the engine at idle, rev the engine up to 1500-2000 rpm and try again. Doing this will increase the output from the power steering pump, and that added hydraulic pressure should be able to overcome any mechanical binding coming from the steering shaft U-joints.
